[Q] might be coming back to G2x...?'s

How is CM7 working now? when I had one, it would drop data, boot with no data, and the battery drivers were all screwed up...how is it now? Have a lot of the mistakes been corrected from the original G2x's that were shipped? (reboots, data drops, etc)...??? Any help would be appreciated. Tired of this Single core phone, and found a good deal on a G2x.

Mine is working great.. Came running 2.3.3 with no problems. I rooted and left stock rom for awhile still no problems. Then flashed faux123's oc/uv kernel ran fantastic. Tried a few different roms and settled on triggers 8/22 2.3.5 rom with faux123's oc/uv kernel as my daily driver with no problems so far...

Running the CM7 nightly on my G2x for past two days. Haven't noticed any problems. Been stable, battery life is good.

The APN Issue is still there, but it no longer drops data. Battery life is AMAZING now.

I couldn't deal with the piece of **** iPhone 4. I came running back to the G2x. Ive kept it stock so far and it's amazing!

I've been running MIUI. WiFi Calling isn't working yet (which sucks) but I'm using Faux's 4.2 Kernel and getting great battery life and very little issues.
With Faux's kernel, WiFi will sometimes fail which requires a restart, and sometimes using USB Mass Storage will lock up.
Sounds bad, but aside from WiFi calling not working, the other issues are pretty rare.

yes one of the most stable roms, it is based off stock 2.3.3 but imo way better with the edt tweaks such as lockscreens and battery configurations, very fast and reliable

By the way. Has the reboot issue been fixed if i flash the newest weapon?

I'm running jboogies 2.3.3 right now with fauxs 1.3 kernal ... Its his first g2x rom. I guess he usually devs for motor but I haven't had any problems .... Fits has a real good kang out right now with some awesome lockscreen rings... but he's not posting here so you have to Google for it...

For me, I had absolutely no reboots at all on the newest version until I went and flashed Faux's OC/UV kernel. To be fair, my battery life is plenty better, just a little unstable. Weapon by itself is amazing.
EDIT: Forgot to say I came from 2.3.5, so I came from a complete wipe.

[Q] [SOLVED] Random shutdowns / turning off.

Hey guys,
The topic of this thread has change slightly since I started it. Please disregard the first few posts after this one.
The problem is that when I install a new ROM, it works perfectly for an hour or perhaps even the day, and then I start getting random shutdowns. These seem to start out of the blue and I cant work it out.
When installing a new ROM, I always check the MD5 and perform a superwipe before starting to use the ROM. Ill put back a few apps using titanium backup pro.
I don't use any hacked apps or task killers.
I have searched but cant find anything useful.
Currently using Insertcoin Sense 4 RC5. Firmware 3.32.
I have tried three different kernals (Bricked, Sebastian and RCMix), all with the same problem.
Update: tjamaican has kindly sent me a fix he found of the forums, its for a battery fix that worked for me on insertcoin's ICS Sense 4 RC4.1 ROM. However I have just moved to RC5 and the problem is back even with the fix.
http://www.mediafire.com/?2a8837bcatym1ju
I am going to try and set a lower CPU level, already down to 1.2 Ghz with max screen off at ~500Mhz. Seems stable for now, been running 24hrs - no restarts.
This is interesting because I had a GB Rom running at 1.5Ghz with no problems, maybe its something to do with ICS.
Any ideas?
[SOLVED]
Sent the phone off to htc and they have replaced the motherboard. Its all fine and dandy now!
They dont know why it happened or how to avoid it in the future...useful, but if you're still in warranty then send it off, it took exactly a week to get back to me (Monday to Monday). Good luck!

Well no need for factory reset. Superwipe? Yes.
What roms cause this?
What firmware is ur senny on? Ex: 1.17? 3.24?
Phone have physical damage?
Has it been wet?

Thanks for your reply.
No, the phone is basically new, but as I said this has happened before.
Running this ROM on 3.24:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468683
But this does happen on other ROMS too, they work perfectly for a while and then slowly begin to develop problems. At this stage I usually install the latest version of the ROM but I'm actually happy with the ROM at the moment and dont want to have to keep changing it!

I've been running Darkforest ROM since early stages and have had no problems so far. Maybe try that one. It's on v 5.1.5 now and it's very fast and very stable, moreso than many other ROMs i've tried.

Could be a defective device possibly? Are u using the kernel that comes with the rom?

I would download 1-click cleaner and clean the cache every week. Also you might want to boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache every two weeks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I dont think there is anything wrong with the device, I'll try wiping the cache's and see if that makes a difference. Thank you very much for all your answers so far.

Could possibly be an app try removing all your apps and install 1 by 1 give it a couple of weeks see if it happens again, I got a problem from juice defender pro (payed for) worked alright for few days then my launcher started force closing all the time took me ages to figure it out but got there by removing all my apps and installing them 1 by 1 long and time staking but worth a try
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

Okay well ive tried clearing the cache and davlik cache with no luck, less restarts but they are still there. I am resistant to start removing apps as I use them on a daily basis. Before I try this, does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks,

I have the same problem :/ it happens in both GB and ICS but It never happened to me till about 2 or 3 months ago

What other information would you like?
I think it may be a kernel issue, I'm going to try a few...
Tried three different kernals now, all with the same problem which would indicate its not a kernal problem? Something else perhaps? (Tried bricked, sebastian and RCMix)

its not a problem, its with network connection
I've had this problem since ages and couldn't fix it yet. First thing, download LTE switch and change the value from wcdma preferred to gsm auto. see if it avoids the restarts. Another thing you can try is, change the sim card (I havent tried it yet). Or, if possible, change the back cover. But I'm pretty pretty sure its the problem with the network.
Please reply.

Well I have been at the 1.2GHz level for almost 24 hours now without too much trouble. Im not sure if it was lowering the CPU clock for screen on, or raising the CPU clock for screen off. Either way I can notice the device is slightly slower. I dont see why ICS doesnt like overclocking on this phone, GB was fine with it?!

Update:
Just had a random shutdown, could have been anywhere in the last 20 mins. I really don't know what else to try!

Having EXACT ones you are having. Buy another battery if that doesn't work its a hardware problem. I still need to buy my battery but will post and let you know if it worked.

I'm also starting to think its caused by not letting the battery fully die and recharging it a lot but that's just my guess?

I switched back to gingerbread yesterday and so far I've had no problems which would indicate its not a hardware issue...? Usually by now I've had a few shut downs..

So I went as far as unrooting and switching batteries with my bro and the problem continues idk what to do

Rooted, flashed Virtuous ROM, now what else to do?

Hey all,
I have a very fun and exciting cell phone now thanks to rooting my phone and installing the Virtuous Inquisition ROM on my phone.
However, now that I've done all that, I've got the itch to do more to my phone. I really like VI as a ROM, but is there anything else I can do to my phone?
Thanks!

Flash hypernonsense, it's like VI but with the remaining few bugs fixed, better battery life (with stock kernel) and a later ICS build. Make sure you have firmware 3.33 to avoid reboots.

I've been tempted to flash hypernonsense too, as its basically like an updated VI. How is firmware 3.33, do you have any wifi signal issues and if so where are you based? Its the only thing holding me back, as I've seen people saying that their wifi is affected after upgrading to 3.33.

I'm in the UK, 3G signal strength is improved and wifi is no different than it was in VI - it all works perfectly including tethering.
The biggest improvement is battery life - over 1d 16hrs, with 5 to 7hrs screen on time is the norm now (using the Anker 1900).

Thanks, im also in the UK, so might just give this a shot. Just biding my time for a fully stable CM10 release as it doesnt seem to far away now, so will feed my flashing needs for now. Also been looking at the Anker battery, looks good value for a tenner. On the stock battery on VI, I'm getting around 20-24hr(+) with 3-3.5 hrs screen on time.

Does this rom have any bugs that stop you using it on a daily basis?
I'm experiencing a GPS issue with CM9.1 so may need an alternative but I'm not keen on sense anymore so want to stick with the whole stock android look/feel.
Really like the way CM9 works in comparison to CM7, it may just be the change over from gingerbread to ICS but its awesome.

I have no idea, never installed either of those. I aim for a lightweight ROM with maximum battery life as I need the phone for what it can do, rather than eyecandy and features I don't use.
It's as close to an AOSP ROM that has everything working, if that helps.

Signal Problems

I have had signal problems with my 3g network lately, my signal displays 5 bars with an "R" above, and my network shows an "E" all the time.
Youtube seems to be slow, the browser is a little slow aswell - noone of this happens on wifi. I have checked the backcover and all the goldcontacts for problems, noone of them seems to be broken maybe a little worn though (the ones on the backcover).
I'm running the newest ViperS rom, could this be the problem? My browser and youtube is fine when I use WIFI, I can't open the Sim Toolkit app, I have no problems with network on my desire.
My calls are fine I can hear people and they can hear me. It only seems to be the network affected.

You can try and change your radio and ril and see if a different radio will help the signal. You will have to experiment a bit to see what's most effective. You can start with generic ics radios and rils. This might solve your issue

Well I flashed a ril and radio which didn't seem to fix the problem, then I flashed a CM10 rom which did fix the problem.. it seems like I am forced to turn my back on ViperS Damn this phone. I loved the rom though.
Thanks for your help though

Strange case.
Can not really believe that the rom is causing the problem...

In any case glad you got your issue fixed

Well I can't believe it either, but it have to be the rom, because I hadn't installed any apps that could have affected the connection, and I didn't have sync turned on and the connection have been fine before I flashed ViperS. I'm not s-off tho so it might be due to that..

If you're not s-off then you didn't flash a new radio like you think you did earlier. So that might still be a fix for you.
You can also try a full wipe and clean install of Viper and see if the problem replicates itself. It's not only possible, but very possible, that something got goofed up in your previous set up that hurt the signal strength. Starting over with a fresh flash of Viper could easily solve it. It' snot guarenteed, but it's very possible to work.

Well, I'm not S-OFF and I have decided not to do it so far. Viper worked fine with 3g at the start, but then it managed to screw up. I have decided to only run cm9/10 and aosp roms so far, I will most likely change to a sense rom later.

[Q] With JB ROMs (Andromadus), 2 Issues - Wifi Static and Graphical Glitches.

Currently I am using Endymion as the stable ROM on my device and I am pretty happy with its performance as well as the battery life, except for some random reboots.
But because of the limitations on some apps on Play store, which are not compatible on gingerbread, I wanted to try some JB roms.
With the andromadus builds (I know they are betas, but still many people say they are good for them, even if not for permanent usage at the current stage of developments), I have two issues:
1. My workplace wifi has wpa2 encryption with static ip addresses. And with both Flinny's and nk111's builds, both the latest and the ones prior to them, I cannot connect to the wifi despite several attempts. Though, my home wifi connection, which uses Auto-settings (with wpa2 encryption), the connection is almost instant. Is there any remedy for that or am i doing something wrong. Also, with few newer Sense ROMs like Fallout 5 and Sabsa 8.5, wifi has never given me problem.
2. Also, with those builds, I have severe graphical glitches with the default settings. I tried to toggle the hardware acceleration overlay in settings, but no success. The graphical glitches are in the form of suspension of the phone, and only when I touch the screen, the process goes forward. In other words, if I have to type 'abc' on the keyboard, after I press 'a', the phone stops, and only when I press 'b', the 'a' appears, and so on. I hope I am able to convey the issue. Is this problem common or only I am affected by it.
For flashing, I first do a complete wipe (Format all except sdcard option in 4ext Recovery), then flash the .zip and then the gapps followed by Fix permissions. But the problems start from the first boot itself. I have tried 5-6 times, but things remain like this.
I do have S-off, with eng hboot of 0.98.2000, and I had applied the latest radio 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I'm using viper Rom saga1.0 it is Android 4.04 it's been running very smoothly and hasn't had any graphical glitches. I highly recommend it. Try it out and see if it fixes those problems for you.

Thanks for the answer.
I have tried out a few ics roms, namely fallout, iceds and sabsa, all of which work well and smooth without the two issues I have pointed out in the experimental jb roms. Except for endymion, all other roms give me serious battery drainage.
Eg, in endymion, the phone goes into deep sleep, with no change in the battery percent indicator overnight.
While with reaper (smooth, but overnight it goes from 100 to 45%), with ics roms (again smooth, but overnight battery goes from 100 to 0, and phone shuts off). In all cases the battery usage culprit comes out to be Android OS. I have tried the latest amidabuddha kernels too, but same result. All testing done using default Rom settings and the settings of my normal endy tweaks (245-1024, ondemand, noop, with low manual brightness, WiFi/data off, sim on).
It seems like my phone remains to be married to endymion.

Well i think you're battery is dying. i never had a 100%-0% draining in any rom i tested.

Have a look on Betterbatterystats here on xda to find which app is misbehaving. There are a lot of reasons which can cause this high drainage. Upload BBS logs after the night and we'll know more.
