Wake issues with newer ROMS

I am posting a new thread because I'm experiencing the issue with several diffrent ROMs so obviously it's a general issue not a ROM specific one. Also I have read through countless pages of posts with no luck so hopefully someone can shed some light. Over the past few days I've flashed (forgive my spelling) dude's .5, ravenge, cynogen 3.4 and I have been having issues with the phone not waking after either I put to standby myself or the screen times out. I know it's not an issue with my phone or card because I go back to virtudude's ROM without the issue. I have tried everything, formatting my partition, ext2, ext3, wipe, no wipe, everything I can think of and still have the issue accross mutiple ROMs. I know it's not just me because my friend with a G1 is having the same issue, as well as many people posting in the threads. Can someone please point me in the right direction to fix this issue please?
My phone:
G1 with JF 1.42
Newest SPL 2005
Newest 26I radio
8gb SD card, class6, ext2 or ext3 partition (same issue on either)
Thanks in advance for any help!

me too
I noticed this same problem, its related to wifi, when I disable wifi my phone wakes up, also I have searched everywhere too for a solution. I think the compiled wifi deiver in these roms are not compiled right. So its either this or some other problem.

Is your phone connected to wifi with wpa2 personal? One other thing I noticed is this happens at random, when it does happen adb and ddms say device is offline when the led is blinking, also bottom of phone gets hot.
Can any devs shed some light on what exactly happens when the phone shuts off? Because something is locking the phone up when the light goes off and is in standby.

I am doing a test, im leaving wifi on while the screen is off in settings, will report back

This happens to me also but its only with hero I also have the new radio and spl. I can run hero with no problems as long as I don't use apps to sd or lucids txt. The wired thing is that after I use any apps to sd it works great but only for a day sometimes a few hours. Then I will start to see freezing up or it won't wake up at all, unless I reboot or pull battery. I've tried to reformat my card, resize my partition I'm also lost on this one fresh out of ideas.

Do you guys think it might have somthing to do with the sdcards? Im useing a 4g class 6 transcend micro SD, its only about 2 weeks old. Jason what other roms gave you these problems?

I personnally don't see the correlation between locking and WiFi, I was at work the other day and flashed a ROM and it was doing it. I have my WiFi off at work so that wouldn't have been the case that day. I do notice the bottom of the phone getting hot though.
In response to the other person with the sd card question I really don't think it's that as I have a class 6, have formatted every way possible. Unless the issue has to do with apps2sd, I use apps2sd on every ROM.
Glad to see I'm not the only crazy one on xda!

Almost every ROM to come out in the last couple weeks has done it. TheDude's .5, Ravenge's ramjet, Cyanogen's 3.4.1, and the Cyanogenized Rogers ROM.
You know looking at these the one thing these all have in common is being Cyanogenized. And the only ROM to come out in the past few weeks that hasn't had that issue is Virtuedude's Rogers ROM, which isn't Cyanogenized.
If any devs are reading this thread if you can make a version of your most recent ROM without Cyan's build kernel and boot and see if that helps. I'd be happy to test it for you to try and get to the bottom of this. If you wanna shoot me an email hit up jasonsyn at gmail.

I've had the same problem, but for me it started after flashing Cyanogen's 3.4 release. Since then I've reverted back to his 3.3.3 release and everything is fine again. Perhaps it has something to do with the new SPL and these ROM's?
That seems to be the one constant among all of us with problems, we've all flashed the new SPL and radio.
EDIT: I asked cyanogen about it, we'll see what he says.

Yeah but I've had the new SPL and Radio for a month and this just started a week or so ago...

I am having the exact same issue. I usually have wifi bluetooth and 3g disabled (saves battery) I noticed this started after grabbing the new spl, ever since it's been freezing in standby randomly. I'm going to try Virtudude's rogers rom to see if the combination of Cyanogen's boot image and the new spl is causing the freezing. Hopefully seeing as Virtududes rom isn't based on Cyanogen's boot image it won't freeze. I'll report back with my results.

I thought my button got worn out. I never had the symptoms on rc33. When I switched to cupcake back during hatkuros prime just before dudes first releases I noticed it. I thought if it wasn't my button it might be somehow related to jf kitchen since almost all my roms touch it at some point. Just speculation though, donno what causes it.

Hey what recovery image are you all running?
I'm gonna flash the new Cyanogens 1.2 Recovery image and see if that's the issue.

Ok so how gay is this? I just hung up from a phone call and the phone is stuck sleeping! I was using it and it won't wake up, this is so incredibly frustrating!!
I have the new recovery image, 3.4.1, and still issues.

try holding down menu or the power button...i had this issue and my sd card would "unmount unexpectedly" and then this ended up into my sd bein fried

for those who are having this issue, try saving a log of it from ddms after that adb shell reboot thats what ive been doing ... instead of removing the battery, though my issues seem to happen every 24 hours i was on cy's 1.1 just flashed 1.2 perhaps that was is the issue?.. either way... we should try to collect all the info we can while this is happening to us.

Ok I'll be happy to but I'm a linux virgin...would you mind giving me step by step in adb and I'll give whoever the log that can make sense of it.

This happens to me also on The Dudes Roger built. I don't have WiFi enabled so it isn't that it seems pretty random and just I get no response from the phone and have to so the soft reset (Call Menu Power) and then it'll work again. Normally only happens like once a day though so I can live with it but it is a inconvenience and can be annoying if it does it when you actually need to use your phone for something with some importance.

well if you're on linux and have it to where adb runs from terminal , just type
Code:
adb shell reboot
but before all that ddms (dalvik monitor) just type ddms in terminal it will boot up and show everything your phones basically working with.. and issues,
now if your linux terminal doesnt work well with adb (cant get it to work , google "50-android.rules" and "51-android.rules" n see if those help, and also set your echo path right )
now if you're on windows just hit windows key + r type cmd , and set yourself into the sdk/tools directory, then type ddms that will start the dalvik monitor (try and save a log) make sure the log saves before rebooting the phone, when you're done you can just ctrl+c and type adb shell reboot, and your phone should reboot.
[just the basic]

i've ran into this intermittently...most of the time while using the browser or using the onscreen keypad during a phone call.
I'm on JF CRB43(which is 1.51 i think) with the Hard SPL and JF Recovery.
Only thing I've been able to do to get the phone to wake up is wait. eventually it'll come around. or pull the battery, which i try not to do.

[Q] problem with calling and radio. Please Help!!

so im having an issues with the phone app on my inspire. im currently running Android Revolution 5.1.10 with radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 with matching RIL.
When i try to place a call when inside of the app and clicking on the person that i want to call it will go to the dialing screen and after about three seconds the phone will beep and it will not complete the call. almost as if the call is dropped. i end up repeating the process about three or four times before it actually goes through and i hear ringing. i also intermittently have problems sending text messages. and both of these problems seem to happen at the same time but there is no set schedule for when they will actually happen. im starting to think it might be the radio im using(which is the one recommended on the ARHD thread) but i don't want to re-flash the radio if that's not the issue.
Im also having a problem where after reboots some of my app icons will not show up and it will not show the icon picture meant for it. it will just show the default android icon. ive found that unmounting my sd card and remounting it will fix the issue but it always happens again after i reboot it. The curious thing about this is that i dont have any of my apps installed on the SD card but it seems as if the icon picture is stored on the SD card somewhere and then not getting loaded properly after reboot.
Does anyone have any idea on these two issues? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have had a very similar problem with my Inspire 4g. From who I have talked to with AT&T it seems to be a network issue in some areas that are using the towers that were, at one time, cingular towers. They have told me it should be fixed in the next couple of months.

thanks for the quick reply! .. i guess i will just wait it out for now.

No problem. I know it's pretty unfortunate that their network still has so many flaws in them. Perhaps if the government would allow the take over of T-Mobile we could see better coverage and network reliability in the near future!

In regards to your icons, the problematic apps are on the phones internal storage or on your SD card?

Hmmm. I know it's a known issue with sense-based roms, that if apps are on the SD, and in a folder, when you reboot, their icons will be the white/green generic. Changing the skin to something else and then changing it back to your preferred skin makes them reappear.
If it is happening to you with apps on internal storage and not in folders, then maybe a full wipe and a reflash?
Have you restored anything from a previous ROM using titanium backup? That can also cause weird things to happen.

i may have to try a full wipe and and reflash then, and then reflash my radio and RIL. i havent restored anything from titanium backup BECAUSE of the problems it causes when you do. i learned that lessen about 90 flashes ago the only thing that i can imagine might be causing it is if somehow the apps actually ARE on the SD and im just dumb. i should add that i didnt perform a full wipe when upgrading from ARHD 10.1.9 to ARHD 10.1.10 but i just downloaded 10.1.11 and i think im going to do a clean install. unless you have any other roms that you can recomend that i might be better off with? i like a close to stock look but i also want the Unity O/C deamon. and no Sense 3.0.

Well, by the looks of it, you're well aware of the virtues of clean installs, so you might as well go with what you're already working with and do the clean install of 10.1.1, and see how that pans out.
I've been running inspired ace for so long, and everything just works, and I don't feel like screwing it up atm, lol, so I can't offer much along the lines of alternative recommendations.

I just wanted to give everyone and update and say that I ended up performing a full wipe on my phone and reinstalling Android revolution 10.1.11 with matching radio and RIL. After the initial setup and putting all of my stuff back on I realized that I was having the same issue with calling. I then went to my installed apps and noticed that I had the call delay patch app installed, uninstalled it and rebooted the phone . Phone is now functioning better than ever ! For now at least lol

[Solved!] Apps disappear

Hello guys, and before you ask, yes i looked all over the place. So i'm coming from an HTC Inspire, originally had the mt3g and nexus one. I really liked the screen of my wife's infuse so decided to get one myself. so i found one on craigslist that was reasonably priced and was hoping i didn't get ripped off because i'm having issues.
So it wasn't rooted or unlocked, which i had to do myself, which wasn't really an issue, since i consider myself a very capable user. got cwm and even installed a couple different roms. one thing i noticed when installing them however is that apps would periodically disappear.
I couldn't figure out why it was doing it at first, and then upon my research found no one really that had a similar problem.
example. Going from the original rom, i installed R3volution. No problems, i loved it, however after installing Go Launcher and a few addons i didn't already have (i didn't wanna use titanium seeing as how i was coming from the Inspire) i rebooted to make sure my system was doing okay, but things didn't really go so well.
After i rebooted i found that Go Launcher wasn't installed at all. I couldn't even find it. I was going to find it on the Market but couldn't even find that either. I was very disappointed and kind of anxious to find out why it was doing this. After researching, i found it may have been apps2sd. I completely removed my sd card, followed the same steps and had the same results. i have no idea why it does this.
I've had similar issues with the original factory image but not to this extent. If anyone has a solution or some kind of input i would HIGHLY appreciate it. I really love this phone and i'd hate to have to tell my friend i can't sell him my inspire lol.

bad flash..start over.
use adam outler uckj4 or mine uclb3. follow ops.
get into cwm recovery. wipe everything.
reflash rom of choice

I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks.

A fresh start sounds like a good idea, but it could still be apps on the sd card. The physical sdcard you removed is different than Android's "sd card," which is actually just the /sdcard directory on the built in memory.
Did you try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and then clicking on a app that appears to be missing? Sometimes i have issues with apps or their widgets and it gets fixed by going to there and clicking "Move to phone."
Anyway, good luck.

I actually did that but it only works with my rooted stock rom. i really want to use the custom roms.

I also used odin to return to stock, is that similar?

So i did it but when i tried accessing recovery mode, it scrambles my display. no idea why...

Qkster and Matt you guys did me a great service, thanks a bunch. I did both and it appears to have fixed it. i ran into a spot of trouble when i installed gb because i couldn't enable dev mode in usb (it auto-shut off) and recovery was just a bunch of jumbled data, but i eventually got it working.
I'm not running revo and will probably try a few other roms! I'm a little hesitant since my phone hasn't been this stable in a while and i aim to keep it that way for a while lol. You were right about it not being a good flash, wiped everything again and went back to oem to fix it. I also had to remove apps from the micro-sd on the original rom, newer roms appear to do this automatically so that's nice lol.
Again thank you both!

hey qkster
i having this app dissapear problem also.. i just flashed SAUROM ROM to test and every time i reboot my phone it would disappear and i went into manage apps i can still see it but when i try to move it over to sd it would say " failed to move application. application not found" but all the apps i store on external sd would be there.. any ideas? another bad flash?

Fast Boot option may be the culprit
In case anyone checks this old thread...
I did not need to move anything back onto my HTC Droid Incredible phone (either memory or internal storage)
I did find a neat tweak that appears to work for just about any sdcard in any Android device, as long as the option exists in the Android OS settings
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report back here on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!

HOX on MIUI 2.8.24 v4 [JB], lots of errors

Hello,
First off, I know its a super buggy build, but some of the problem I've encountered aren't even reported so I feel like I'm the only one having them. As well, I would have posted on the actual topic, but I don't yet have 10 posts yet, so it won't let me.
Anyway, first problem.
I can't use/ setup voicemail! I don't really care about visual voicemail, but I literally can't even access my own voicemail. Dialing my own number just gives me a busy tone, what gives?
Secondly, on that matter, every time I make a phone call from my phone, the screen goes black the second the phone screen pops up. I thought it was like a proximity sensor or something, but even with the phone on a table, I can't get it to come out of the "black mode" while on a call. If I press the power button, the screen will flash on briefly, but not long enough to do anything with it. As such I can't hang out phone calls, so I have to force reboot after every phone call.
And finally, on the matter of the phone, there are times where people call me, I'll answer (get the same black thing) but I can't hear them at all, and they can't hear me at all, but we are connected, and since I can't hang up, and on a black screen, I am helpless.
Another problem... I connected my phone to my comp today to try and grab a new ROM, thought I'd mount the SD card, but when I plugged it in, there was literally no option to mount anything. I went through all my settings, developer stuff, nothing fixed it.
As well, since I couldn't connect to my computer, I couldn't run "adb logcat" to maybe see what was going on with the phone and such. So I used a mobile terminal app I use occasionally to run "adb logcat" locally on the device. Well when I first run "adb devices" my own phone doesn't even pop up... Yes, developer debugging is enabled, and yes, the mobile terminal app had complete root access. How do you explain this? A friend of mine suggested reinstalling the rom wiping the dalvic cache, which I did, but all the problems I've been having still persist.
It makes it extremely difficult to use my phone day to day with these issues, and since I can't do a logcat, I can't really report the problems accurately, even though I seem to be the only one having them. Don't get me wrong, I love MIUI and all the work the MIUI.us team does porting, but I just don't think I should be having so many problems.
Thanks for the help guys.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing miui? I haven't updated to v4 but voicemail/phone calls work fine for me on v3...maybe you should try flashing that instead? Can't help you with the adb stuff, sorry. I did have trouble getting my phone connect to my windows 7 laptop though but adb worked fine on vista

Can't help you with the adb stuff, sorry. I did have trouble getting my phone connect to my windows 7 laptop though but adb worked fine on vista

Yep, I did a full wipe many times actually. Could it be that I used a backup from an order version of MIUI (2.4.x) inside that backup/restore program and it's corrupting something? At least in regards to phonecalls and voicemail...

Try testing voicemail and calls before restoring?? I restored data from some games using MyBackUp Root or something and my phone has been working fine >_< If all else fails, I can upload the 2.8.24_v3 rom for you! I think blind is gonna have a new build up today though so up to you. Sorry I haven't been much help :\

I'll give it a try next time I flash. I do appreciate the offer for the v3 rom, but maybe I'll just wait for blind to get the new one up and hope I have better luck. I did a little more research on the adb thing on JB roms, and apparently there's some other driver needed or whatnot, so I'd assume that the terminal app I'm using on my actual HOX doesn't have said driver. However, that doesn't explain why I couldn't mount my SD on my computer. Like I said, maybe this next update will solve everything lol.

[Q] Lag

I have the charge running FP5 firmware and the Tweaked ROM 3.0.
I've run into a situation where the phone has become rather laggy and buggy.
Example: Click the notification for voicemail...wait 30 seconds and phone dials. or Phone battery dies. I plug it in and it charges up to 30%, then starts getting very laggy and non responsive. I reboot and am told battery power is really 50% and phone is good to go.
I'm used to rebooting the phone at least once a day or more. I'm looking for a way to correct the problems and bring the phone back to how it was when I last upgraded and and loaded the ROM... too bad I didn't backup the phone at that point. Anyways...I know that if I reload the firmware and apply the ROM, everything will work correctly again but I'll spend hours tweaking the settings to add custom ringtones and photos to contacts.
Is there some cache or data I can clear to fix this without clearing everything and starting over?
Mike
P.S. I'm keeping this phone until Verizon allows me to upgrade and keep unlimited data or the phone dies and I have to get another.

You mean Tweaked 3.2, right... if not first upgrade to the 3.2 version of the ROM... it is the current FP5 option.
There is a build.prop thing commented out at the bottom that should force launcher into memory (supposed to help with screen redraw issues, but might also help with general responsiveness). I think you could do it from root explorer, just edit the file, scrool down, read comments, when you find one that sounds like what I said just remove the "#" from the line below it.
re-installing tweaked might really help...
but you might try going into CWM and wiping cache only... NOT data & cache... JUST CACHE... that helped me when i had "funky" things going on on a different device/ROM worth a try.
Finally, you should always take a CWM backup, Nandroid, before poking around....
Also... check swappa for relatively cheap phones with no ties to VZW contract it is where i picked up the GN2 (if it is rooted and you don't want to show it off at the corp store, just call customer support say you are too busy store hours. They will send you the micro/mini SIM via FedEx.
Of course take what I say with a grain of salt... I am just a crazy guy from the internet
(oh great XDA... please correct me if I've misspoken)

Thanks for the info. I never did load Tweaked 3.2. I will put that on the back burner as I don't want to reload all the settings. Maybe I can load it without wiping data. Do you know? For now I will try wiping the cache and see if the phone improves.
Someday I'm gonna have to explore the latest OTA and a new ROM. I'm getting tired of ignoring the update message. either that or learn how to shut the message down. any recommendations on a ROM for the new OTA?

I will never tell someone "don't say it click the button"... However, I'm like pavlov's dog clicking the button is appreciated...
Not sure about a dirty flash... Never tried it. I got turned on to Root and Such well after FP5 and Tweaked 3.2 came out.
If you give it a go... You could retain much via Titanium Backup. Or just send a CWM Backup/Nandroid on the SD Card before playing around.
Either way...
There has to be a proper stop notification how to thread around here somewhere!
Cliffs Notes:
From a Root Friendly File Explorer (Like Root Explorer HERE, it is worth the $)
edit a line in "/system/build.prop"
Find
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP5:user/release-keys
replace the FP5 with FP8 so it reads:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP8:user/release-keys
NOTE: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO HOSE THE PERMISSIONS (If I recall some of the other "freebie" root file explorers break the permissions... Best to find that a real thread with all the details if you are not 100% confident.)
Also feel free to double check my facts... I'm just a crazy guy from the internet!
Good luck!
Edit Alert:
PS. While poking around at the tweaktools back-end, I noticed there were some mods that specifically addressed lag (I have little to no experience with them though... Just FYI...

yes, you can flash tweak 3.2 over 3.0 without wiping data. not sure if it comes with the updated kernel, but I would certainly do that as well.
in terms of lag, try the crossbreeder mod on XDA - worked for my charge!
