CM 7 and the Droid 1

Alright guys, I have a simple question for ya.
I've recently flashed CyanogenMod 7 onto my Droid 1, and have been experiencing problems. They are as follows:
1) After a phone call, I either need to wait about 5 minutes to get my data(3G) signal back, or reboot because it never gets a data connection back
2) I can no longer multitask as efficiently, and example is if I'm listening to music (Pandora, Rhapsody, or the default music app) and I go home to do another activity (Facebook, Browser, Pulse, etc.) my music app stops playing and the ongoing notification disapears.
3) My Facebook contacts are no longer kept in sync. It still is the same version as the one I used on CM6.1.2. However, when I do select to sync, it adds the contacts, without pictures, and within an hour, they are removed.
4) My messaging app, although it is locked in my memory, still is being killed by my system.
I've tried restoring, fixing permissions, formatting data and system.
So: has anyone else that hs CM7 expierenced these problems and if you did, did you have a solution?
Thanks in advance

I have the problem with Pandora/slacker and mutlitasking... though I haven't had any of the other problems. I'm on nightly #25. No solutions yet.

1) Known issue with all GB based ROM's for the D1. Enable airplane mode a few times to force it to come back.
2) This is due to GB's aggressive memory management and the D1's lack of RAM. To help this you can do 1 of 3 things.
A. Use Swappa 2 to make a swap space on your SDcard.
B. Enable Compcache at about 18% or so.
C. Change ROM's and use Project Elite 5.0.2. They have a function that allows you to lock up to three apps into memory so they don't get auto-closed.
3) I don't use Facebook so I'm no help there.
4) Refer to number 2.
Good Luck!

Hello I'm having the same problem. My Droid seems to not be able to multitask very well anymore. My music player will often get killed by the system randomly, and it has made this phone pretty much useless for music.
I have tried enabling compcache and everything and it doesn't seem to help. I assume this is a problem of the Droid not having enough memory?

I'm running CM7 RC4 on my droid and the only "issue" I've noticed is that I get a low memory warning from time to time.
What kernel are you running?
Perhaps CM7 is too much for droid at stock speeds.
The 1.1Ghz low volt Chevy kernel does a very good job for me.

Do you have any issues with music playback? Maybe my kernel is the problem. The 1.2 ghz slayher kernel bootloops with my CM7 but it worked fine on CM6.

Sorry to post again, but I just wanted to update you guys. Flashed the Chevy 1.1 LV kernel and am still having the music player shut itself off when I try to open other apps. If I leave the music player up in the foreground, it will run all day with no issues. The minute it gets sent to the background, android seems to kill it within seconds.
The taskbar notification for the player will also disappear, but may reappear randomly as I continue to use my phone. It will appear briefly, then vanish. The music will never resume playback, however, until you physically hit the pause button and then the play button.
The sad part is that this behavior was exactly what my Motorola Q used to do. The thing had so little memory that the minute apps were released from the foreground view, they'd almost instantly close. I hate to say this but I think the only solution is a new phone... I guess android has finally outpaced the hardware on the OG Droid.
I've tried everything setting the music & media processes to 'always keep alive' using the little blue fish memory manager, but that doesn't seem to work. Like I said before, *something* is closing the music process very aggressively when it leaves the foreground and I'm not sure why it's doing this.

Yeah I'm using cm7 on my Droid incredible. Everything works fine except, sometimes applications such as messaging app and the default web browser restart randomly. I'm also using the kernel that came with it.

I've found that particular memory-hungry apps tend to cause the music player to close itself. The browser for one, almost guarantees that the music playback will stop. Last night I was able to keep the music playback going while switching between my SMS inbox and Tweetdeck. However certain other app combinations don't seem to work so well.
I've heard some talk of "bulletproofing" ... is this something that could help in my case? What does it do and how do I go about locking the music player in memory?

[Q] Google Music Bug

Since last nights update to 3.2 i am getting a blinking screen when in Google music app. It just constantly blinks. i have about 7k sngs loaded onto Gmusic and never had any issues with tab or phone.

Did you try clearing cache and or data on your Google Music? I have no problems with a blinking screen but I do have album cover art issues... Hope it helps...

Cleared data. seems to be working for now.no blinks. thanks

I have had blinking occur when opening stock browser. It did go away after a few seconds.

I have this problem too! its like it keeps reloading the music ever 2 seconds and just flickers, if i clear the data/cache and force stop it, it'll work on the first open and then keep doing after until i clear and fore stop again.. anyone have a solution?

I am continuing to get this flickering problem.
The only way to correct it is as stated above- Clear data.
Than open app, it will work fine but than the next time i go into it the same issue- so have to clear data again.
Anyone else have this issue or come up with a permanent fix. Or any ideas...
Thanks, Still on Stock- not rooted fyi

Nexus S problem with media is always running in the background

Has anyone else had this problem where Media is constantly running in the background and draining battery. This is the 2nd time it has happened to me and its annoying. The first time around I just wiped my phone and all was great for bout 2 months and now its back again. media is started by an app (android.process.media). Every time I kill Media it comes right back. I used Titanium to freeze (download manager- downloads-DRM Protected and Media download) it seemed to stop it but my keyboard starts to act up and not work. Any help would be appreciate. thanks

Netflix and Hulu issues

Ive noticed an issue over the last few days on my Surface with Hulu and Netflix both. Both are closing about every 5 mins. It will show in recent apps and re-open and keep playing as it was. it is however getting somewhat annoying. I haven't found anything else mentioned elsewhere. Is anyone else having the same problem?

No issues

no issues with that either. You might try uninstalling and reinstalling the app? Maybe doublecheck your wifi connection? Just watched the daily show with no closing or issues here.

Hulu pauses a lot
I was having issues with Hulu pausing a lot during streaming. I don't use the app anymore, i just stream directly through IE and it works perfectly.

Just an update for all. I noticed using it this morning, while not touching any of the screen or the start button that it went back to start screen and the device vibrated like the button was hit. The behavior continued until this evening when the start button stopped working. Called up tech support and the guy had me go through a hard reset. To do this, hold down power (while the surface is on) for 30 secs. Then hit power to turn it back on. No data loss at all. Booted back up and the device is working properly now.

No notification sounds? [FIXED]

Does anyone else have a problem with notification sounds/ringtones after the phone goes into deep sleep? Have to reboot to fix the issue .

yes i do.even after reboot it prolongs

Has happened here twice. Had to reboot to fix it. My worry is that this could happen during the night so that the phone won't wake me up in the morning (the alarms don't sound either - in fact no sound at all can be played, be it from ringer, notifications, Spotify or YouTube).
Hasn't occurred now for three days, but I've rebooted each day due to separate issue which involves not notifications not being received unless I open the app (happens in Facebook Messenger and Signal).

Yeah, let's hope

Unfortunately it's back

Was able to find out the cause... Was the hike app intefering with system sounds.
Once notifications start coming up without sound, clear away the hike app from recents.. should fix the issue... Atleast it did for me

I'm noticing the exact same issue. Sitting here WATCHING my phone ring and making no sound. What exactly is the "hike" app? Is that something you've installed or is it a native app? I don't think I have that on my phone so I'm looking for a solution.

Its a third party app like WhatsApp... I'm certain the issue you are facing is due to a third party app... Next time the sound stops, try clearing your recent apps... And see if that fixes the issue ...

I'm having the same issue and I do not have the hike app

It could as well be another third party app... Doesn't necessarily have to be hike..... Try and see if clearing your recent apps fixes the issue for you

What does clearing mean? Like delete my apps?

I am also running into this issue. Im still in the process of uninstalling apps one by one to narrow it down if it is an app thats causing it. Has anyone pin pointed what is causing this? Im almost ready to factory reset the phone and add the apps back one by one but I would rather not spend the time.

I had that same issue with certain apps. For me though, I didn't realize the extent of Data Saver and had to allow Gmail and whatnot to have unrestricted access and then they started popping in right away.
You wouldn't happen to use Data Saver on your phone?
Just a thought
Cheers!

I appear to have this issue however, safe mode, factory resetting, etc does not fix it. I do not get notification/phone/music sounds.

This issue is still there even after the 8.1 update... Anyone got it fixed?
For me the notifications won't make any sounds, they pop up but silently. I tried playing some music and the speaker works, I also didn't have any issue with alarms. Just notifications.

I have a Nexus 6P and my wife has a Pixel XL and we were both having the same issue with 8.1, no notification sound with text messages and call ring tone. I did most of the suggestions that I have found online (factory reset, clear cache/data in messaging app, change sound) but none of them worked. I was about to downgrade to 8.0 but I saw that both of the apps (messages and phone) were being "optimized". I disabled battery optimization on messages and phone, rebooted and so far it seems to have fixed it. My only guess is that they optimized those apps a little too much. Good luck.

I also noticed the issue on v8.1 that I flashed a few days ago. Thought it would have been fixed by now. Ended up downgrading to v7.1.2 again to fix the issue.
Oreo is NOT ready for prime time in my opinion.
