[Q] My Defy CM7 problem.

Hi.
I'm installed CM7 for Defy (by Quarx) yesterday.
Thanks to Quarx!
Phone call, WIFI, Camera(yellow lens), 3D performance etc.. all good!
But, my Defy GPS and Game apps compatible is problem.
Wrong location detect in Naver Map, Google Maps and T Map.
T Map without aGPS is T Map the original case.
However.. Naver Map, Google Maps is no problem with custom ROM(without aGPS)
This apps is wrong location detect problem in CM7 beta2.
Complete location detect is long time wait.
Other ROMs no problem. and other people know same problem.
according to Quarx's fix note it has GPS fixed. but it still have problem (accuracy)
The others, and do you think?
Game apps compatible problem in Assassing Creed, Garosero Puzzle.
Launching this apps, killed app after logo on screen.
It has other apps has same problem.
ps. Sorry, I'm poor the English

Does google maps point to the write place. With me it does.
Normaly all programs get same coördinants. Maybe a fault in program.

Video playback and GPS not upto mark
Hi
I installed CM7 on my defy last week.
Everything seems fine. I am loving the speed. I am facing the following problems.
1)Video playback is not smooth as compared to stock froyo.I am using mobo player for videos.I had an MKV file high clarity(resolution is just 704*400 but it has a size of 60mb and high depth of field).I usually use that video to show the clarity of the screen to my friends. It had played smoothly in the stock froyo(using mobo player itself).But now in CM7 its not smooth and lags.No of Fps has gone down.
2)GPS-Its takes a long time to get a gps fix. I am not getting coordinates while using apps like GPS stats
All of you out there , please help me if you have found a solution to the above problem

[Q] Graphic Glitch (2D Overlays)

Hey guys!
I tried to search for this issue but never found someone with the same prob.
Everytime an overlay that highly contrasts with it's background I get some kind of a graphic glitch... I took a screenshot to show it better:
i51[dot]tinypic[dot]com/qx3y2o.png
I'm running Oxygen 2.2.2 r1 with Franco 17/Sep...
245Mhz - 1024Mhz (SmartassV2)
Do you know that glitch? Am I all alone here? Do you know any way to patch it?
Thanks a lot!

Well, it seems that noone has this issue... But anyway... here are my findings:
It ONLY happens in Oxygen ROM... with or without FF Kernel... any I/O scheduler, governor, frequency...
So it's clearly an Oxygen issue with my phone... CM7, MIUI and Stock all work fine...
The issue is clearly seen by anyone that uses Dolphin HD browser... If you press the "Draw gesture" corner, the suposed overlay comes all distorted...
I don't know how the android 2D libs work, but my experience in OpenGL in PC's it's like the Z buffer is all confused... Or if textures are being draw in the wrong order...
It only happens with semi-transparent overlays (could be some blend bug)... I don't really know... It seems a prob with the 2D libs, given the fact that 3D works flawlessly...
Could anyone with Oxygen ROM try Dolphin HD to see if you have the issue?
Thanks... I really like Oxygen, but this problem is a killer!
EDIT: (corrected some errors)
EDIT 2: When trying Dolphin HD, enter www.google.com before trying the gesture thing... The problem is best seen that way...

ok you are not alone, same happen here , but is not big deal for me

Ah! At least I'm not alone
Well, the thing is that this could easily be related to the Flash not working bug...
And the bug is a bit anoying IMO...

Same problem here. Very annoying!

The fix is here:

ICS GENERAL- For discussion on the ICS update

I've been on the beta since it was released and the official release for 24 hours and have had the following issues so far:
Sometimes when I take a picture I'll get duplicate images in both Gallery apps.
Sometimes touch controls in games like Angry Birds simply stop working. Sometimes a reboot will fix it, sometimes I need to power on and off. This is unacceptable IMHO.
Does anyone have any more they want to discuss? The issue with the touch controls may force me back to GB.

videocamera is l lilbit laggy
soundquality in videocamera is very low!
battery drains fast!

Please use the Search button! This thread is about ICS bugs.

The phone app is really heavy to load and the number search is laggy and slow!
Videocamera is slow and a bit laggy, i hope that someone could solve this
I checked some video details, before and after the system upgrade:
Gingerbread Videocamera: video: 29 fps audio 128 Kbs STEREO
ICS Videocamera: video : 28 or less fps audio 128 kbs MONO
Why this quality downgrade!?!?!?! Ehat's next? 3 Mpx photo?!

Videocamera might seem laggy but resulting videos are fine.
The real bug is 2D acceleration which is most obvious when dragging down notifications bar and scrolling in the app drawer. It is also noticeable in 2D games. For example, I get 59-63 FPS in GB while on ICS only 46-50 FPS.

No no, the video quality is the same, but the audio is worse!! Check yours video specs.

VPN PPTP-VPN:
I can connect to my VPN router but it is impossible to disconnect. Disable data or wifi is the only way to close the connection. Can anyone confirm this?

Some lags can be reduced if you install Sony S launcher .apk

Only thing I really hate, is that many games are impossible to play because of the "touch lag". For example Age of Zombies; I can't get past the main menu, because if I press "play", it won't register my touch. This happens in most of my games.

Game itself works quite normal sometimes, but the menu lags. It's not because of performance issues because some heavy 3d games work smooth.

someone can poste a sample video from the camera to see these lags ?

The lag problem (not so lag), could be solved diabling the video stabilizer. The real question is why the audio before the update was STEREO and now is MONO!!

Temple Run is another good example. Touch controls aren't recognized correctly in both the game and the game menus.

I'm glad it isn't just me.
But it still sucks.
I've rebooted my device 3 times already today because Frisbee and Angry Birds wouldn't recognise any touches at all.

I'm unable to delete the contacts in the messaging app. I can delete the conversations but the contact still remains. Any ideas?

Do you restore any data from your old rom? Or you restore any messages?

[Q] Music stop playing on CM10

Hi,
I have an annoying issue on the latest Quarx's CM10 (18/03). I have this problem since November I think. When I'm playing music from my SD card on any music app (usually I use Play music or PowerAMP) it stop randomly after some music when screen is off.
I think it happen because of RAM management which kill running app on IDLE to increase battery life. But I tried tweak RAM setting and it didn't change nothing.
I think I'm not the one with this issue. I'll take every idea to try to fix this.
Thank you.

Keep your app in foreground.
And if your player has notification thingy, the atk can't kill that app. I think both apps you mentioned has a notification control, SDL it can't be memory management!

Thank you for your reply.
I can keep the app in foreground but it take approximately 30-45mo of RAM so my phone will become very laggy.
I think you're right when you say it can't kill the app because of the notification. But I think android system kill an other background service which is necessary to the music be played correctly. I'll trying to investigate when I'll have more time.
I have an other app called Deezer (French Spotify service). This app never stop or less frequently. I think it's because it use it own decode system (music file are encrypted on the server or memory card). The app don't use external services to decode music so the app continue playing after hours.
Btw I find strange that I'm the only one to complain about this. I will make a clean install in some day.

AW: [Q] Music stop playing on CM10
Hi, you test supercharger script? With this you can look apps in memory or under general I saw a post how to look apps in memory.
Gesendet von meinem MB526

Yes in know how to do it. But if I lock music player in memory, it will take about 40mo all the time. My Defy will become very laggy.

Hi Husi10,
I have the same issue as you about music playback.
My problem is the following :
When I'm using Deezer app with CM10 or CM10.1, music playback is frequently laggy (always in the very begenning of the tracks) and sometimes it stops playing in some unknown situations (as you described on this thread).
This issue doesn't occur on CM7.
Did you, as me, notice this playback lags in the begenning of the tracks ?
Did you find a fix or a workaround for this issue on CM10.x since March (date of your post) ?
Thanks

Hi,
Yeah, music playback on Deezer's app is laggy in the beginning of every track. I think there's no workaround because it's a bug with the app itself. It happens also with my tablet (Nexus 10). But playback never stop by itself.
After my post, I did a clean install (wipe data) and also format my SD card. It helped a lot, I never experimented this kind of bug again.

Thanks for your reply.
In my experience, music lags issue only occur in CM10.x. Did you already test Deezer on CM7 ?
[EDIT] So, do you think that Deezer is buggy like this only since Android 4.1 ?
On which ROM your Nexus 10 runs ?

My Nexus 10 runs on AOKP (4.2.2). I think it's an issue with Deezer itself, whatever the rom.

Yes, there are lags at the beginning of each songs.

Hi,
I'm just (re)testing Deezer on my Defy running Quarx CM10.1 build (2013-06-26).
I've changed I/O scheduler to "cfq" (before my change, it was "sio") and it seems to work better, I don't notice lags at the beginning of each songs for the moment. :fingers-crossed:
Is it the same for you ? Could you test it in order to confirm my potential finding ?
Thanks

Oh yeah that's really better with cfq scheduler. Thank you for the tips.

After one more day of tests with cfq i/o scheduler, I've noticed that lags at the beginning of a song still occur BUT only after launching Deezer and only with the first song. The next songs playback is smooth.

Question Refresh rate bug with Dolphin

Hello everyone!
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to talk about this here but I don't know where else to do it :/
I have a refresh rate bug on the Dolphin emulator. If there is a framerate drop and the game comes back to normal framerate, Dolphin displays me the right number of fps but visually, it's very jerky.
To solve this problem, just put the app in multitasking and return it to full screen (switching the screen to 120hz solves the problem).
I can reproduce the problem, so it's not just isolated in places, but I can't reproduce it with other apps (and I didn't have this problem on my Pixel 7).
Nothing OS problem?
Thanks a lot!

Sounds like it

Possible solve it with custom rom ?

That is a really specific problem. You need to Test or ready trough Log Files If you have the knowledge

No I don't have that knowledge unfortunately :/
I tried to reproduce it on other large applications (Aethersx2 for example) but nothing
I will try to switch to PyxisOS, there are a few things that bother me on NOS

Ok, I can confirm that this is indeed a NothingOS problem, I switched to PyxisOS and no more problems (and much better performance by the way, it's weird xD)
