Defy MIUI 1.5.27 Bug

Hi friends, i'm tested MiUi Rom 1.5.27 for three days and i found some bug:
When i listen the music with miui music player, the phone after 20 minutes freezes screen. The only solution is to disconnect the battery from the phone!
The phone signal goes up and down and sometimes disappear!
If you find other bugs post here please!!!
thanks!

The sms FC bug is a huge one, they provided a link for the fix, but it did not work. It FC when you recieve a new message and message dissappears.

I don't get these force closes day to day. Not in normal replies and receiving. I have had it once and i know you get it if you select a contact in phonebook and choose send sms.

Man this Tom is highly unstable, the Rom earlier was pretty good with minur bugs.

False sector
Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App

I had the same issue with the music player...happened three times while I was out running! I started a thread of my bugs on MIUIANDROID.COM in the Defy forum. I'm sure the bugs will be worked out (pray anyways)...but I hope soon as I'm loving this rom and all the sweet themes. All the different themes you can switch on the fly makes this phone completely different...it's like I get a new phone anytime I want
Right now I'm using zk buuf's theme...so friggin sweet!!! I liked the jeans one too by coolfire...all I can say is I LOVE MIUI and all these themes!
As for other bugs:
1. SMS notification tone randomly works, some times I've had the tone, other's not and just the led flashes.
2. If contact had multiple numbers, it only kept one when I synced and I lost the other numbers in that contact (e.g., kept mobile but lost home and office number).
3. This one's weird...I had wifi/gps/sync off, then dropped down notification bar and selected gps...wifi and sync turned itself on. It happened several times.
4. I downloaded the swype for gingerbread and it works great, however, when I restart phone, it reverts back to android keyboard and I have to go back into settings to select swype as default. Not a biggie, but annoying.
And not a bug...but does anyone have any idea if full screen camera/camcorder has been figured out (I've got infamous green lens).

everything is fine for me..at least for day to day use.. no fc at all..on miui since 4 days..

Bugs
Hi there,
Im on MIUI for 4 days now and I found a bug too:
-when the phone is locked and you recieve a call, sometimes "swipe down" does not work.
Beside that the translation to english wasnt done properly. I have chinese signs in the sms app and contacts left.
But Im very happy with MIUI. It looks and feels like Android should!

Where do you have Chinese characters as I don't find them in either app.
So don't be so quick to call them they work hard on translating.

I think I just figured out the music player crash problem. I am using setvsel and have the option checked for limit to vsel 1 on screen timeout. I disabled that option and have not had it freeze since. Do you have this option enabled by chance?

[ROM][BETA 4.0.3][Evervolv-ICS-2.1.0-01MAR-HeroC]

This is now considered a beta version of Ice Cream Sandwich for the HeroC. Please keep all comments/communication about this ROM in this thread, and keep the Development thread clean for people actively working on the ROM.
No guarantees that anything will work, or that your phone will not be turned into a brick or a toaster. Please backup if you value what is currently on your phone.
You can use this with or without gapps. If you load them both on the initial setup, be sure to select "Setup Wizard" when the system first comes up.
In its current state this ROM with GAPPS needs around 155M in /system. I am currently running firerats at 160/20 just to be safe for testing purposes. I would recommend at least 155 for system.
There are some obvious places where we can reduce the size, but that will come as we continue to refine and move forward. Performance in not great, but overall it is fairly functional. Gapps are just some a minimal version to get Market working.
THIS ROM TAKES A LONG TIME TO BOOT (ESPECIALLY FIRST BOOT).
Boot animation has been added in 26NOV version. Please be patient.
This is a work in progress and there remain many Opportunities for Improvement (the gentle euphemism for Defects).
Working (at least for me):
Touchscreen
Trackball
Phone
Data
WiFi
MMS
Audio
Bluetooth
SD Card
Market
GPS
Gallery
Boot Animation
LatinIME Keyboard
Prediction/Dictionary
Network Stats (Data Usage)
Headsets (Audio Jack & HTC 11 Pin)

FAQ / Fixes
DATA ISSUES
If you are having issues with Data try the following settings:
"Data enabled" checked
"Data roaming" unchecked
"System select" Home only
If you still have issues with data, please capture the output of "adb logcat -b radio" from boot to completely booted and post it to pastebin or equivalent.
KEYBOARD ISSUE
Attached below is a replacement keyboard that doesn't have the bottom row off-screen. This is just a quick hack to get a functional keyboard. After some clean up and testing, I will include it in the releases going forward. Just replace the existing /system/app/LatinIME.apk with this one for the time being.

hmmm after the HTC screen, i get a black screen showing nothing. Plugged the charger and shows charging light.. Still waiting for it, it's been like 3 minutes. im on 170 40 mtd settings. K nvm it setup just appeared. For those that are trying, wait for it.
EDIT: K been messing around with it (sorry for all these edit, just trying to prevent a lot of posts and I am awake this late so might as well show some heads up) but problems I found
1) Keyboard is half (missing space bar and the alt function)
2) Screen orientation is choppy
3) Im missing the actual market app, might be firerats issue
I found a pointless feature.. but using the trackball brings up a cursor lol didn't know it'd do that. Making it "click" u have to press the ball then scroll quickly rather than just keep clicking the ball.

Thank you ICS Team. Other than the items listed in the OP, I cannot get data to work. Phone is stuck on No Service and every few minutes will jump to roaming and then back to no service. If I try to call a number with the dial pad, the dial pad disappears after I press send, I assume this is because I have no cell signal. Could not test google apps due to no data. I was still able to play with the home screen, widgets, etc.
@ Majin101, my keyboad seems to be working ok, I do have the market app but haven't tried to use it yet. I am not using firerats mod. If anyone else tries to flash this, make sure you wait a few minutes for the rom to boot as mentioned in the above post. You will see a blank screen but it will eventually boot.

This is going to be a great rom. If you use a different keyboard you also get space and alt to show up.

Findings.
Okay, Seems nice. There is no bootscreen, so be patient, when setting up, choose "setup wizard"(this is kind of a no brainer, but you never know). Alright:
1. Data isn't working, I changed the roaming settings, but it didn't help.
2. As mentioned in an earlier post, the keyboard is missing some keys.
3. I do however have the market application. I used the gapps in the op and am using firerats 160 40
Really amazing work. The fact that this is even running on my hero amazes me. And they thought it would have trouble with eclair

Data is working well for me with the following settings:
"Data enabled" checked
"Data roaming" unchecked
"System select" Home only
Try that, and if you still have issues with data, please capture the output of "adb logcat -b radio" from boot to completely booted and post it to pastebin or equivalent.

As i was installing in cwm i got an error stating "random offset: 0 x 150" yet the rom still installed. Any ideas as to what this was/is?

I got the same error. It booted just fine and I thus ignored it. Would be nice to know though.

For those that want to fix the keyboard, just download ics keyboard from market. For those that cannot download from market, use root explorer to go into "cache" and create a folder named "downloads", for those that want to increase scrolling speed etc., flash the TweakZ.zip found in the android general forum here at XDA. I would also recommend setCPU.

I also got Random Offset 0x1ba. Once rebooted, HTC screen showed up then black screen. I waited 10 min but it looked frozen. So I pulled the battery. Then I accidentally formatted my SD card and the fun was over.

The "random offset" comment has to do with the flashing of the kernel. I'm not entirely sure but I think it has to do with the way the boot.img is packed. Should be harmless though..
Good to see you'll got this thing running though.

Another feedback!
pros
1) Ive been texting sending and recieving just fine no problems (havent tried mms)
2) Made calls talked fine (although my face kept hitting the end button..)
3) Installed swype, texting is fine now and changed the dictionary too english to get rid of those red lines under the words
4) Also increased pointer speed to just use the trackball if needed
other bugs:
1) Noticed that some of my notification doesn't make a sound or plays
2) When I play music its coming through the ear piece speaker rather than the back speaker
3) google map fails to login

Darn looks like I have to go back to CM7.1. People try to call me but my won't won't tell me someone is calling and their isn't any sound either. Also the gallery app opens but doesn't show pictures and apps are missing from the market but thats probably a build.prop issue.
-------
Just flashed without mtd and it seems to be working better. I'm receiving calls and can hear my sound now.

Great job guys! Running for about an hour and besides the above mentioned bugs, I've noticed one more.
When I put the phone on the charger it becomes unresponsive and the screen goes dark. No way to wake the phone nor is the charging led on.
The only way I can charge the phone is to do a battery pull and boot the phone while on the charger.

mines charging and im still able to use it?

Very Impressive, to say the least!

[Q] Sense 3.0 People force closing, wallpapers disappearing and skins inconsistency

I recently updated my Desire S to Sense 3.0 via OTA. It arrived down here in Thailand rather late. I almost gave up waiting for it because it has been months since it first rolled out in Europe. OTA went fine. I am very pleased with Sense 3.0. New lock screens are so great I go awwww the first time I unlock my phone. The ability to capture screenshot using power + home button is my most anticipated feature. I have not encountered the issue of power button not bringing up the phone off/airplane/restart menu as reported in other threads. And while on the previous firmware I usually get a complete signal drop about once a day or two which has to be fixed by turning airplane mode on and off again, in this firmware I have not seen that happening so far. But now I'm having some problems which I hadn't have before on Sense 2.1. Here are the things that really keep bugging me:
- People app keep force closing every time when viewing Photo tab of an individual contact that has been linked to facebook. i.e, I can see the contact fine, facebook updates and all. But when sliding the bottom bar to check out the contact's facebook photo albums, People app immediately force close.
- Wallpapers which have been downloaded from HTC Hub keep disappearing after each reboot. They are not sticking. Check in the sdcard\downloads\wallpapers and they are all gone, except the .nomedia file.
- The last one is not really the problem, but it is still bugging me nonetheless. The Blue Sky and Burgundy skins have color inconsistency. After applying either of them, the big Phone button at the bottom of home screen does not change to the appropriate color. i.e, when pressed, they just stay green like the default skin. But while pressing the left (app) and right (personalize) buttons, they do change their colors to go with the skin. When previously on 2.1, the Slate skin (gosh, how I really miss that skin) also act the same way sometimes. But it eventually changed the pressed Phone button color from default green to light blue after the reboot. Tried rebooting but no luck on Sense 3.0.
I'm just curious to know if anyone else are facing these problems. If it's only me I will run factory reset on my phone. If it's common then I will just have to live with it.
Please share other problems you found and I will respond if they are present on my phone or not.

Do you have an SD partition? I think you have to have one for this ROM, didn't think to test without an SD partition. A2SD is baked in. It would be great if someone could confirm this, cuz I don't wanna delete my partition lol.

Well in SS the a2sd version will still boot with no partition but it will reboot upon installing a app.
His md5 could be bad or maybe not a full wipe. Its hard to tell based on info provided

If you guys have problems with a ROM: BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE AND IT IS MORE LIKELY TO GET SOLVED. It's not just my ROMs we are talking about, we can't help you if you are vague. And logcats are the most helpful thing if you have a problem that is not in the OP. We are here to help but you have to help us to help you.

Well put, I used to hate someone saying this is broke and leaving it at that. Because 75% of the time its user specific or created so its hard for us to track down what happened. The standard for reporting bugs should be
The security type of phone eg s-on/s-off
Wipe process( most important part of flashing)
If the md5 was checked and matched. If anything else was restored in recovery or flashed with the ROM. But that's my opinion

Yes definitely. The more relevant information provided, the easier to diagnose the issue. Then formulate a solution.

MikROMs Since 3/13/11

Thanks so much for this, much different than the stock GingerBread I just replaced.
I've only been using Android about 6 months and was running a rooted stock kernel and dodgekernel, but I have to say this build feels much quicker and looks much slicker and has a very nice kernel built in.
I don't know if I was just behind the times or what but is that really just a skin/look change on the Play Store? It's extremely different and very nice looking to what I was using before (and about 10x faster).
I did run in to a couple issues, that are probably just user issues.
I've reinstalled all the apps I was used to but noticed that starting up a navigation, or music file or inputting an address doesn't bring up the prompt I'm used to of "Which application should we open this with". In fact I cannot find where any default tasks can be assigned anywhere. Whenever I go to manage applications, "Launch by default" always says "No defaults set." for every single application.
Another oddity that I think is related to this, when I hit the 'action'/'smart' button my bluetooth it just goes 'dut-dut' and does nothing.
I'm pretty sure Voice Commands is installed, but it won't come up and now I've installed My MotoSpeak and that will not respond either, and I think this is because I cannot choose that button as a task and nothing is set up by default.
Thanks for the help and the nice build.
EDIT: I just noticed that the CM10 roms says that "BT call audio." could be a problem. I know that is a whole different animal, but could that be an issue here as well? Its odd, my BT will play media music fine, but will not play phone/call audio correctly, just hear a buzzing.

There are ICS/JB themes you can download, but some of the theming is within the ROM. As for BT calling, I am only able to test BT by sending files, I no longer own a headset (My Planatronics took a ride in the washer).... Speed is what I shoot for on all my ROMs

Also... Did you restore data when you restored your apps? If you did, reflash and restore apps without data, it might fix your problem.

Absolutely agree :good: . A Fresh CLean install when first flashing a Rom will avoid a lot of issues. It may take more effort, and time. But it usually gives the best results.

I actually didn't know there was an option for that, how would you go about doing that for future reference?
Whenever I run a new rom I wipe data 3 times, cache and davlik and start fresh.
I don't use that many apps anyway, just some key ones every day for the drive, so only takes about a couple hours to get set back up and much of that time is just experiencing the new rom and finding what's different.
Yeah speed is incredible, I mean my old kernel was ok when run at 1.5Ghz, but that stock htc launcher or whatever 2.3.5 had would often 'spin' for 5-10 seconds when just trying to switch apps or multitask. There were other instances too, just felt like I/O speed was much different.
I'm sure it helped to not have any of the Sprint/HTC cruft to deal with, but especially navigating apps in the launcher, multitasking and browsing Play Store are beyond incredible, basically instant. My wife finally played with the new rom a bit and said she thought it was just 'too fast' compared to her 4s, she just "didn't like it". I have no idea what that means, but I for one love the speed. I don't need it to be slow to convince me it's working .
This is also my first time using link2sd, I didn't know about it with my old rom and was perpetually with ~40mb left (and a full SD). My trial of the rom and adding sd-ext was because I finally upped to a 32gb and decided to look around while I was upgrading.
As for exact issues: Pressing the 'smart' button on my Bluetooth headset does nothing, getting me 2 quick beeps.
Voice/phone audio through my BT will not work. It's odd because all media, music, text to speech, everything else works fine, and the microphone works fine for voice recognition, etc.
But when on the phone, it sounds a bit like when a phone is half off the hook, a steady, kinda staticy tone and every now and then a juggling/clunk sound (reminds me when someone on the other end played with hanging or half hanging up the receiver). I can switch to headset or speaker while in the call and both are fine, and bluetooth goes silent while in the other modes. It's crazy though because I will hear my gps speak to me overtop of the staticy 'lack of phone' while on BT.
The first issue I fixed: After much internet searching I found other users on ICS experiencing the same issue with the button and they suggested downloading Voice Control Test. It sounds odd, because I've downloaded all sorts of stuff and they work but I have to touch the screen to start them. But just as was reported on the website I found it on:
1) Install Voice Control (Test)
2) Start it up
3) Press the button on your BT
4) MAGIC, suddenly your phone brings back the old Gingerbread option asking which App you'd like to use to complete this action and you can choose to pick a default too, my choices were Voice Control Test or My Motospeak, for some reason stuff like iris and jeannie were missing, but regardless, I hit default, My MotoSpeak and now my 'Smart' button works fine.
5) Un-install Voice Control, button keeps working fine.
Also I haven't tested entering a GPS location yet, but I was playing with some other apps and again was prompted for that other action. This might have reenabled the old prompting for various commands somehow.
Also, I noticed that there was no option for 'Voice Command', which most forums seem to suggest is the old 'built in' app that ran when you pressed the BT button. I'm not sure, but that basic issue might just be that no default app was installed to begin with, but it is annoying that installing something like My Motospeak doesn't help and there's no way to manually set this to the BT button 'action'. Maybe having something lightweight like Voice Command in the rom by default would be a nice feature, the same way you have that light term emulator there by default.
Any thoughts at all about phone audio over BT? It seems so odd since media works and seems more difficult, like maybe an issue with how the dialer is handing off or passing the audio stream to the BT. Maybe there are other 'dialers' in play store, I'm not that familiar, but this seems like it'd be in a common piece in the rom that handles phone audio.
For now I'm going to try to get a voip/sip set up and see if that works, might be nicer anyway because then I can use data while on the 'phone' finally on Sprint.
Thanks again for the work on the rom.

Yeah speed is incredible, I mean my old kernel was ok when run at 1.5Ghz, but that stock htc launcher or whatever 2.3.5 had would often 'spin' for 5-10 seconds when just trying to switch apps or multitask. There were other instances too, just felt like I/O speed was much different.
I'm sure it helped to not have any of the Sprint/HTC cruft to deal with, but especially navigating apps in the launcher, multitasking and browsing Play Store are beyond incredible, basically instant. My wife finally played with the new rom a bit and said she thought it was just 'too fast' compared to her 4s, she just "didn't like it". I have no idea what that means, but I for one love the speed. I don't need it to be slow to convince me it's working .
This is also my first time using link2sd, I didn't know about it with my old rom and was perpetually with ~40mb left (and a full SD). My trial of the rom and adding sd-ext was because I finally upped to a 32gb and decided to look around while I was upgrading.
As for exact issues: Pressing the 'smart' button on my Bluetooth headset does nothing, getting me 2 quick beeps.
Voice/phone audio through my BT will not work. It's odd because all media, music, text to speech, everything else works fine, and the microphone works fine for voice recognition, etc.
But when on the phone, it sounds a bit like when a phone is half off the hook, a steady, kinda staticy tone and every now and then a juggling/clunk sound (reminds me when someone on the other end played with hanging or half hanging up the receiver). I can switch to headset or speaker while in the call and both are fine, and bluetooth goes silent while in the other modes. It's crazy though because I will hear my gps speak to me overtop of the staticy 'lack of phone' while on BT.
The first issue I fixed: After much internet searching I found other users on ICS experiencing the same issue with the button and they suggested downloading Voice Control Test. It sounds odd, because I've downloaded all sorts of stuff and they work but I have to touch the screen to start them. But just as was reported on the website I found it on:
1) Install Voice Control (Test)
2) Start it up
3) Press the button on your BT
4) MAGIC, suddenly your phone brings back the old Gingerbread option asking which App you'd like to use to complete this action and you can choose to pick a default too, my choices were Voice Control Test or My Motospeak, for some reason stuff like iris and jeannie were missing, but regardless, I hit default, My MotoSpeak and now my 'Smart' button works fine.
5) Un-install Voice Control, button keeps working fine.
Also I haven't tested entering a GPS location yet, but I was playing with some other apps and again was prompted for that other action. This might have reenabled the old prompting for various commands somehow.
Also, I noticed that there was no option for 'Voice Command', which most forums seem to suggest is the old 'built in' app that ran when you pressed the BT button. I'm not sure, but that basic issue might just be that no default app was installed to begin with, but it is annoying that installing something like My Motospeak doesn't help and there's no way to manually set this to the BT button 'action'. Maybe having something lightweight like Voice Command in the rom by default would be a nice feature, the same way you have that light term emulator there by default.
Any thoughts at all about phone audio over BT? It seems so odd since media works and seems more difficult, like maybe an issue with how the dialer is handing off or passing the audio stream to the BT. Maybe there are other 'dialers' in play store, I'm not that familiar, but this seems like it'd be in a common piece in the rom that handles phone audio.
For now I'm going to try to get a voip/sip set up and see if that works, might be nicer anyway because then I can use data while on the 'phone' finally on Sprint.
Thanks again for the work on the rom.

If you are using Titanium Backup it restores app data by default, there are three options near the top of the screen when choosing apps to restore... Thanks for the input tho, it's something I don't really think about because I no longer have a BT headset. I'll have to look into it... Too fast? Lol there's no such thing.

Do you have the same "bugs"?

So I have had my Honor View 10 just over a month now. Overall I really like it. However, there are a few minor bugs(?) that I am finding quite annoying, but have not seen any other mention of them. Was just wondering if anyone else has experienced any of these? And if so, how have you managed to overcome them?
1) Home screen widgets not updating
So I am using Nova launcher, as I have done for quite some time before getting this phone. One problem that I have found is that my widgets are not updating. E.g. Keep list still shows items that have been ticked off and Agenda Widget won't clear past days and bring in extra days as they fall into the 30 day window. I don't know if this is specifically an issue with Nova or other 3rd party launchers on this device, or if this happens on the stock launcher too. I have set all the related apps, including everything Nova, to be manually manged in the battery launch options, but have seen no improvement. I only seem to be able to force them to update by either removing and replacing the widgets or by restarting the phone.
2) Wallpaper not updating
I use Muzei with a Bing daily wallpaper plugin to change my wallpaper daily. Well, that was the plan anyway. Occasionally it will change automatically, but many days it will not and I have to force it manually. Again, I have set the launch options for Muzei and the plugin to be manually managed, but with no change.
3) Bluetooth loses music control ability
I use my phone to listen to music via bluetooth to my car stereo. The audio has never failed, but what frequently happens is that I will lose the ability to control the music from the bluetooth device. I.e. pause, play and skip tracks. When this happens I have to reboot my phone to get that function back. How long it takes for this to happen varies. Can be after just a day or after several days. I have experimented with changing how I disconnect from the bluetooth device, but this has no impact. Also, I occasionally get the audio breaking up, so that it sounds like a skipping CD.
I feel like there is something else that I am forgetting, so will post when/if I remember.
Thanks.

I use Nova too. Some widgets get (most of the time) updated, others not.
When I restart Nova (by the settings in the app), updates works for a unspecified amount of time.
I think this is a downside of the not (really) manageable Ram/Battery management from Emui8.
Also Google Fit is not usable for tracking a path. It looses the GPS access a couple minutes after the screen turn off. Only with the locus app im able to do tracking.
If there is no solution for this, I have to buy an other phone :crying:

Widgets not updating appears to be an EMUI thing - I had a Mate 10 before this phone and had exactly the same issue.

Thanks both. I did eventually find the following thread (funnily enough in the Mate 10 forum)... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/widgets-stop-updating-t3703572
As I have no other need to root my phone, I don't really fancy doing so in order to freeze the system process that some have had success with. It was highlighted that this appears to specifically be an issue with scrolling widgets within EMUI 8, which seems to fit with my experience, and is also apparently present in the stock launcher. I have for now switched Nova to auto rotate, as then rotating the home screen appears to refresh all widgets. Bit of a rubbish workaround, but does work.
I haven't got any further with the daily wallpaper issue, and currently have to manually update.
The issue that I couldn't remember before is that when sending SMS via MightyText the sent SMS doesn't appear on my phone. However, this appears to be a problem across all recent EMUI devices for which there doesn't appear to be any reasonable fix. Let's hope Google hurries up with adding web messaging to their Messages app, and then that can become my default SMS app.
Is there any official Huawei/Honor community where we, their customers, can log bug fix requests?

I have the widget update problem. It's a right pain for the news ones I mainly use. Tried auto rotate in Nova on BBC Sport and that didn't work. The update icon/button gets stuck, constantly swirling.
If I keep the phone I'll probably root since, looking at other Huawei phone's threads, my confidence in them fixing it any time soon is pretty low.

As I've had this issue on the Mate 10 as well - this is an annoying issue that Huawei don't seem to want to fix.
I've also noted a silly amount of permission setting (in some really random places) so allow things to run in the background. It can be in more than one place. I don't know what the Chinese obsession with background app killing is, but this means my phone often doesn't tell me I have messages or emails until I unlock it. My bluetooth trackers and Huawei Watch don't sync.
Might be time to move to a Xiaomi or Oneplus.

TBH you might go from one set of annoyances to another with these brands. All OEMs seem too busy adding gimmicky features rather than concentrating on getting the basics right. You can get more bog standard than properly working widgets!
Huawei seem to have (unnecessarily) doubled down on Android's battery optimisations and permissions. From what was some years ago a bit of a Wild West in these areas, it's now gone far to far the other way.
I had an OP5T for a few days, loved it but OLED screen gave my eyes/head grief. So anything OLED is probably a no-no for me.
G6 I had briefly last year, just didn't get on with it and the screen had really uneven brightness. LG seem incapable of getting phones right these days.
Anyway, I'll persist for now. I'm happy to root just for AdAway and Titanium Pro.

After having the phone a few weeks now, I can say I've had the same bluetooth issues as the OP. I use Muzecast as a personal music server and randomly lose the ability to pause while on speakers. NB - volume continues to work fine.
Heard the mini skips or glitches too, infrequent but noticeable.
