Hi All,
My Droid DNA is currently running CM11 M7 release. I have been experiencing network signal loss around 3-4 times a day. Every time I lose the signal, my phone automatically restarts and acquires the signal back.
Previously, before updating to M7, a month back I was on one of the May Nightlies (forgot the date and lost the backup too) and was not seeing this issue.
What could possibly be wrong? Do you think I should update the radio, hboot or go back to some other version of CM?
Your responses are much appreciated!
Thanks,
Did you do a full wipe before updating?

Yup, try a full wipe (dalvik, cache, data, and system...restore NOTHING).

Yes, I tried wiping the dalvik along with cache, data and kept it under monitoring for 1 full day to see the problem and yes, it did restart again. So, no, I dont think wiping dalvik, cache data is helping!
What about the system? Do you mean to say, I need to install the firmware and stuff? Please advise.
Thanks

Nothing changed in CM that would require the new radio. It is always possible something changed at Verizon requiring the new radios though.
Next time it happens grab all the logs using the SysLog app by tortel and send them to me in a PM.

thanks for your response!
I have downloaded the app now. Its actually difficult to capture the logs just before the phone restarts as I don't know the time it happens. But let me try and see what I can capture.
Thanks
EDIT - Hi @crpalmer, I have been trying to get hold of the logs. However, I am unable to as I exactly don't know when the system will restart. Question is, do you need the logs just before the restart or is it okay to get it after the restart too? If you need them after the restart, is there a time-line before which I can capture them?
Please advise.

You can usually find the log from the last reboot by running the following adb commands. This *should* show any errors that were causing the freeze/reboot.
adb pull /proc/last_kmsg
It appears you can also do this through SysLog by sharing the 'Last Kernel Log'.

UPDATE - Just an update to people who may be following this thread
I did provide the logs to @crpalmer. His response
"There isn't much there. All it says is that it failed to bring some hardware back online after sleeping. I've seen that once before and thought it was likely a sign of a hardware problem."
He also pointed me to https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4205 where they are tracking this problem which is similar to mine.
However, after having reported this issue with my phone, my phone never has restarted because of this problem. Its been more than 150 hours since my phone last restarted. Note that there has been no change in my phone updates or anything similar.
I am still following the above link and hoping that it will be included in one of the nightlies.
Thank you,

FYI, the person that reported the jira issue ran a test build (with a change made for this problem) for 3 days (it usually rebooted for him within a few minutes) so it was merged today.

Any reason why it doesnt work? I use it a lot. Running the 7-3 nightly

My installation has been working fine and I even managed to increase battery life by installing "Juice".
Suddenly, about 3 days ago I noticed the phone was saying no signal. I was clearly getting data, as my apps worked and I was getting eMail alerts and downloads, but no calls.
I tried restarts, but to no avail. I am using Rod_100 UK as I am on Vodafone UK... I assume it is correct, certainly worked for the past month.
I have had to revert back to Windows Mobile.
My immediate thoughts are it is Juice that is causing it. I have just logged back in to my XDAndroid to write this and Juice did not load, and guess what, the signal has come back.......
Just in case is there anything else to look for?
Never heard of "Juice". I have heard of JuiceDefender however...
If you don't have the issue on a clean install, I'd say that app (or one of many I'm assuming you have installed) is the culprit. Rename your data.img and boot, see what happens.
Yes, it is JuiceDefender, apologies for the abbreviation.
I un-installed it and I have network again, but I guess I will loose battery longevity again, not that it made a huge difference.
I'll keep my eye on it....
Still no improvement
No, still not working. I get no signal, when I am in eye shot of a mast and on WM I get a full signal. I am booting in to WM to a deluge of SMS messages that I had not received, mostly vMail notifications, to which the messages are from calls that I did not receive.
The radio is not as strong and keeps dying on me requiring a reboot
I dont know what exactly but some program is giving android problems

All I can say is do the standard mess.
Make sure you're up to date.*
Delete (move, rename) data.img.
Format SD. Full format. HP tool.
*There's a lot of testing stuff flying around right now too, making that difficult admittedly. Hopefully the auto-build service will return soon, and all the madness will get committed soon!

Well I took it literally, as I have no idea, sorry. I'll put it back... Anyway, I have another problem now anyway. Having made the change it will not boot. I checked the permissions and it is not "Executable" any more. I have tried changing it but it will not let me. How do I fix this - I am accessing via my laptop which is Ubuntu (Linux).

What is not "Executable" any more... haret.exe?
The startup file
Sorry, ignore me.
After the change, I double clicked the Android shortcut to launch Android, but it would not start, so I assumed the file had to be executable (as it was the only item I had changed)... I had forgotten to disconnect my TP2 from my laptop!
I've done so now and it has launched. A stupid user errorhttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
I'll keep you posted on any changes.
Ha, fair enough. Enjoy.
Solved. Keep loosing Radio
OK. I tried all the above. Delete data.img, and check the startup script/cmd.... none worked. At some point I would loose the network connection.
As it started within days of loading JuiceDefender and its components and from the description of how it works - controls the running apps including radio and data transfer, I always suspected it to be the root cause. After the other checks failed I tried removing all Juice Defender apps and since then c30hrs I have not experienced any loss of communication.
Thanks everyone for your help, and I hope this will be of use to anyone else suffering from loosing radio/ signal.

It has been a number of days now and I have not experienced the same issue, so my conclusion is that it is the JuiceDefender that caused the problem.
The down side now is that I get 7am to 4pm battery life as opposed to 7am to 7pm.... But atleast I can receive and make calls!
A note: The signal strength on the project image is not as strong as the WM6.5, but I am sure that is a known issue.

Hrm, didn't realize that app would help out that much. But, it makes sense if it's turning off all your radios lol.
Anyhoo, have you seen the kernel I posted from WisTilt2? It has full panel collapse, and battery life is astounding with it.
Code has yet to be committed, as he still has some work to do for the AUO panels (select RHOD100's basically) - so unless you have one of those you can reap the benefits of his new code .
(bzo got nearly 65 hrs with the radio on, sync off - 100% sleep.)
Looks interesting, but where do I download the latest version... I don't plan reading all the threads! And IF I installed would I loose all my settings and apps?
Update
It has been a while since I did all this tinkering, during which time there has been an update.
What I find I get is sometimes (c every couple of days) the meter says I have signal but nothing connects with a message "no network". Also, but far more frequent, as with today where it has occurred 3 times, I dial a number and nothing happens. It says ringing but there is no ring tone and it never seems to connect. I then shut the call down either by using the hang up button or the soft hang up key. The screen then changes to "Hanging Up" but again sits there indefinitely. The only solution id to do a restart.....
Any ideas?
PS: any news on when the bluetooth and camera will be working...?
I have found that any app that acts as a task killer of any sort (juice defender must in someway stop apps to save battery) can also kill your connection. I found this out while using xdandroid and it became immiediately clear when I stopped using the task killer my bars and data proved to be more consistant! Hope that helps.

Bug issue has been solved as if FXP45. Thanks to all who helped track this nasty critter down.
I've been asked to start up a thread specifically for tracking down the data loss bug in FXP41,42 and 43. I'm currently one of the very few that are not suffering from this problem.
Background
The data loss issue is when your wifi or 3g status indicators still show you as being connected to the internet and Google (green indicators) but no data is transferred. A reboot of the phone will restore data for a limited period of time before the same thing occurs again. After a fresh install, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for data loss.
For those that have the problem nothing tried so far as been able to rectify the problem for any length of time and for those of us that don't have the problem we can't duplicate it.
What needs to be done
We need to find some common denominator between the devices / users that are having this problem that is also something that none of the working devices / users don't have. If you have anything to add that you've tried to do to duplicate the problem or fix the problem please post or PM me with the details and I'll keep this OP up to date.
What been tried to duplicate problem on working devices
1. Fresh install - Nope
2. Market update / downgrade - Nope
3. Forcing sync - Nope
4. Factory data reset and login with different account - Ongoing
What's been tried to fix the problem
1. Fresh install - Nope
2. No Gapps - Nope
3. Market downgrade - Nope
What still need to be tested (suggestions please)
1. Working device/user create a different Google account and test with that.
2. Who is using 2 step verification and do they have problem or not.
3. Compare results of a clean install using the same account on a working and not working phone. (I have account setup PM me for login if you want to help test)
This should get the ball rolling, I'll add some more is a couple of hours once I get my head in gear.
I've had the problem today. I didn't try to format the sdcard first, but maybe it helps. I can't try it until next week at least
Enviado desde mi X10i usando Tapatalk
I was on this rom (fxp041) for a while, it was at least two weeks before i got the data bug. I'll have another go tomorrow installing the latest version fresh. I'll experiment to see what causes it. Hopefully report back tomorrow with some report.
cheers, lunar.

I've just done a factory data reset and setup the phone using a different gmail account that I created for this test. If I loose data then maybe it's account related.
Well, I have tried two different google accounts, so either both of my accounts are screwed, or it isn't something tied to the Google account. However, it didn't happen to me UNTIL I installed the GApps addon package either time - first time I installed the ROM, had data no problem for about 3 hours, then was like "Whoops, wait a minute, need my Gmail / Market apps", so I installed the package and lost it. Second time, installed both, had net, did a Market download of a few apps, checked gmail, worked fine for about half an hour, then went kaput. Did the second time with a DIFFERENT google acct.
Hi,
The data bug began for me with the fxp30b release. I tested so many things to tackle that nasty bug.

FXP043 also have data bug. I will use stock or VMOD version later.
Hi GBD,,
I have tried everything you have in the op and nothing has worked for me too, also you can rule using a new account as i have tried that too even on a fresh install.
I thought that when market updated it was that causing the issue but yesterday i froze the marketupdater app with titanium, signed in, and the problem still occurred.In fact before signing into google the phone had worked fine for several hours with no data issues.
I wonder if Crowds has found the solution here..

I have gone back to fxp030 for now as i need my phone for work.

Can someone test this out. Do a fresh install and as soon as you boot up and connect to your google account, manually set your time to 11:59pm and allow it to roll over to the next day.
The market should update when the roll over occurs and if it's the cause, you'll loose data at that time.

Did fresh install of FXP043, after first boot up connected with account, selected some Gapps to install, at that time it automatically synced. Connected to wifi to download gapps faster, after that changed time to 11:59 pm (decided to stay on edge, no wifi). 2 minutes later there was new market, and everything worked just fine. Visited some websites, changed to wifi and back. Data still working. I can't reproduce data issue...
I came from FXP030b in which data was also working for me(had few issues at the beggining first but then data was working fine)

I'm running FXP43 and just encountered data loss but found a solution (at least in my case, not sure if it's 100% effective for everyone).
What I did:
- Went into Dev Tools > Bad Behavior > Crash the system server
- Screen seemed to freeze but I let it sit for a good 30+seconds to see if it would become responsive
-After no response I pulled the battery and removed my sd & sim cards for 30+seconds then replaced them
-Booted my device and data is back
If anyone tries this method and it helps I'd appreciate the THANKS!

Dude, this isn´t neccesary and doesn´t solve the problem. After a reboot data is always back but disappears again after a while. There´s no need to crash the system server.
has anyone tried to flash new gapps (this) instead of the one provided in the post?
I apologize in advance if this was addressed before, I couldnt find a thread that answered my issue.
My phone doesn't cannot to data anymore.
I have been flashing different roms pretty frequently, and I am currently on SpeedRom 7.8
For the past month, data hasn't been working on the different roms I have been using. I don't know what is the cause for this issue.
This issue started when i installed SpeedRom 7.5. From there i jumped from one rom to the next, with data not working.
Can you of guys help me with my predicament?
Thank you

Go to Settings - Data Usage and make sure Mobile Data is "On". This gets turned off sometimes when flashing new ROMs or by accident.

I just checked and It's definetely on.
To expand and clarify the issue, when I turn the data on, there is no data icon at the top of the status bar beside the network strength icon.

Hello friends,
I am actually a Sense convert, thanks to the combo of CM10 and AOKP, found in ROMs like JellyBam and PAC Man...
The ONLY thing that's making me unable to use those ROMs as my Daily Driver, is the following issue:
1. Turn on 3G and GPS togther
2. Launch map and choose a place to Navigate to (Navigation is launched)
3. EVERYTHING LOCKS PERFECT! My turn by turn is now ready
4. Give it a minute or two on the road and BOOM! The phone loses signal, 3G is cut off, GPS loses its lock, and I am stranded in the middle of my destination
Give it a minute or two... sometimes minutes on end, and the GPS locks again (after signal is restored and 3G returns), but shortly soon after, the issue repeats itself.
Now, can someone please confirm for me that that is indeed a CM10/AOKP bug and all of you have this issue? Trust me, I have tested it in MANY areas, it's not a weak signal issue. If I only have my 3G on, the connection is RARELY lost (probably with bad signal), but when GPS is used WITH 3G, it's almost UNUSEABLE and dangerous to navigate with, due to the loss of attention from the road and losing your turns ALL THE TIME!
I would appreciate any help on people confirming that I am not alone on this one, and that if you guys know any fixes or workarounds for this? I would love to offer a Logcat even, but personally, I have given up on Devs never willing to do that for the issues I have reported in the past. Not complaining, just saying they are busy or just don't want to help me with Logcats.
Thank you and I hope everyone is well. Appreciate you guys reading the message.
I've been on cm10 for over a month and have never had that problem. I've used navigation for 2 hours straight without a hitch.
Are you on the cm nightlys? I use the irc builds.

I am suffering from the same issue, it persists for me on all CM10 builds and JellyBAM. I think I did what you said, but the bug did occur again (while using nav, gps and 3g signal goes out for a few minutes). I just wanted to double check what you were suggesting. When you say menu, reset, do you just mean reseting the phone after installing the GPS status and toolbox, or is there a menu option in GPS status and toolbox I'm not seeing?
Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe I'm being stupid (I hope I am), but I do not see the reset option when I hit menu from within the app. I see Tools, Share, Radar, and Settings. Is it the Tools-> Manage A-GPS state -> Reset?
Thanks again.

Yea I'm thinking that's it. I'm not a 100% sure as I've not had this issue or a need to use the app. However that would seem to be it. If that fails look threw the settings for anything that has the reset option. Also being cautious is never stupid. Hope this helps.

Yes, that was it. How on earth did someone know to do that based on just that symptom?? Why is there no way to do a GPS reset like that via the system menus?

I took the small OTA last night and have since been having data connection problems as well as noise though the Beats headset while browsing. I am in a great 4G area but I am getting connection timeouts intermittently after my connection goes from indicating 3 bars of 4G then switching to 3 bars of 3G. It takes about 30-60 seconds for the connection to time out. While I'm using the data connection I hear a high pitched buzzing through the headset if I am listening to music or (anything that is sending audio to the headset). It sounds like the radio is creating interference.
Verizon is stumped. I'm sure they'll send out a new device but I would be careful about taking the OTA. Hopefully this is an isolated incident but who knows.
Do an adb backup & back up internal storage. Flash/Confirm stock recovery then in fastboot try a factory reset. Confirm boot and double check data. I remember having to do this when coming from GB firmware to ICS. This might apply for the OTA.
I'll give that a shot and report back...

I can only get data for a few seconds at a time now, so it's worth a try. The buzzing through the headphones while browsing and trying to use the data connection is bizarre.
By the way, all stock here: no root, etc.

Ah ok. Do the ADB backup before factory reset so you don't lose apps and system data.

I'm not sure if your isolated in this, as I have not had the circumstance to be listening and browsing yet, but the OTA is going to happen. You can deffer and deffer but one morning you'll wake up to the result of the OTA. That's just the way they roll. It sometimes sucks when you start reading about all of the bugs people are having, and/or the new problems these "tested" OTAs have.

Not sure what ADB is, but unless it is a root thing which the OP was not, nothing is going to stop you from loosing system or app data. As for just the apps, Google woke up a couple of years back and started saving all of your apps so that re-installing them is a snap. Amazon is doing the same. The nice thing about Google now is they are finally allowing you to delete apps you no longer want in your list. As for apps from other sources I only have two that I have to reinstall from the interweb.
My only question is why does Android not allow you to restore app data? Basically they are forcing people to root to have basic luxuries. Not having to set up 6 emails again and again, not making you sign into all of your personal apps, putting your screens back the way they were when you started. In one thread there was a person who said they actually enjoyed the latter part of that, saying that was how they got out of their rut with their set up. Which I can kind of see with the app installation, but the screen set up is a different story. Revisiting apps and deciding if this is something you really want to keep is one thing, but at the same time if it isn't bothering you, then you're not worried about it.
It's not a root function. Does not require root at all.

And you don't loss your app or system data? I'll have to look at that one.
I've had all sorts of data issues with this update as well (was already kinda crappy after the last update, now it's way worse).
Here's some info on the built in backup for ICS
I can't post links yet but just google "android ics backup" and go to the second link.
When I run it my phone starts then backs up a few gig of data then exits out, no confirmation message but also no error message. I think I'm just going to keep trying until I get two backups that are the same size :-/
Let me ask you this.......
What is your current hboot? Go double check.
What are your radio/baseband versions?

So this morning this update got pushed to my phone even though I was still on GB and it screwed it up.
Edit: Thanks to you guys and the RUU, I am now up and running again
