(issue) rebooting randomly! cyanogenmod 7 - Wildfire General

hi guys
i put my phone up to cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 from 7.1.0 rc1 about 2 or 3 weeks ago and since then i have been getting quite random reboots. seems to happen most when im doing alot with the phone.
i did a fresh install last time and going to do it again in a few days when i get off work to see if that helps.
anybody else been getting this? read a thread in the general section from a guy getting reboots from 3g connections???
any help or thoughts greatly apprecieated.

Go back to 7.1.0.1 - 7.1.0 rc1 is buggier and older and I think most bugs in it got squashed in the final version. You can always try going to the nightlies aswell as a alternative plan!

I had the same problem, I've been using CM7 for a while and few days ago it started rebooting. My CPU was on 691MHz, I put it back on 614MHz and now it's not rebooting.
On 691MHz was about 2 months.

I've not tried the nightlys and I am on 7.1.0.1, I updated from the rc1. I thought it may be the CPU settings. I had it over 700 :/ I've dropped it to 570 or so and I've raised the minimum to 300 or so from 250 I think. Hoping that will sort it as I'm loving the rest of this update built in screenshot equals win B-)

I love stable but since I flashed nightly I've not gone back,the improvements in nightly is in my opinion outstanding and would highly recommend. I think I'm on #255 and have not had 1 problem to date.
" the ability to read is good,
the ability to understand what you've read is great "

Thanks man, ill give it a try the next time I'm off work

oh also im thinking of flashing a new kernal as well. anybody any suggestions??

Keep the one that comes with it. Or if you need to experiment with more governors / schedulers, then go for InfinityPlay.

In my opinion, Fresh Rom 2.0d followed by DarchLegend.
Ill put my hat in Fresh's corner. I used damage's rom as well. You cant really go wrong with either.
I've tried DC 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, and 2.07.2 and each one becomes unusably slow after just a couple of hours. I don't know why. I would literally wait 10 seconds for the Settings menu to show up.
I switched to Fresh this morning and so far it's running well. Not as well as DC 1.0 did (I have no idea why the Eris ROM is so much faster) but well.
I've been using DarchLegend for a while now, and it is by far my favorite. Especially with visual voicemail working in the latest release, it is a very solid rom. But you just have to try them. Make a nandroid backup, then just start wiping and flashing like crazy
im trying to download it but it says could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. contact server or admin why is this
honestly, none of the current 2.1 roms cut it for me because of several issues including the audio loss. if you want a 100% working/stable/fast rom go with pancake 1.5.
I'd say fresh's feels the most stable
I do have a place in my heart for darch's AOSP so I am going to say that's my favorite, hopefully he gets that update out soon.

It's an issue with your computer. You don't have to post in every unrelated thread about it.

lol thank you im just trying to get this installed i been anticipating forever to get a rom and now i rooted it and i want to go all the way lol im going to restart
Right now I would have to say Fresh then Damageless. I find myself using both more than all other dev's ROMs but Fresh's ROMs always seem to give me the least hassle and run the smoothest. I love trying them all out though. I am addicted to flashing ROMs and modding my phone.

Not everyone experienced the audio loss issue. To the OP, just do a nand backup and try them all out.

My main issue with all the 2.1 roms is the battery life..it flat out sucks.
I'll plug my phone in and check it about every hour and see its gained about 5% battery life. Yay! If I can turn my phone on and the battery loses 2% while im looking at it, its useless to me.
I'm running Pancake 0.1 with Sense and even on heavy use I get easily 20+ hours out of it. Yesterday I unplugged my phone at 8 in the morning and I sit here at 4pm the next day with 5% battery left. On a smartphone? WOW!
Time to plug it in!
man fresh rom has so many problems keep gettin force close apps audio problem doesnt ring and hate the thing when i make a call i feel vibration
ive never had any problems with any of fresh's roms most stable by far! ive been using darchlegend for the past week, and i love the new widgets no problems at all except my 5.0 doesnt have vvm i havent upgraded to 5.0.5 yet.
hey u live in my area im in miami .. but yea i put it on and i did the wipe i keep getting error that says force close things also i couldnt hear my ringer .... im trying the [ROM](1ST with all recent fixxes built into one rom)DamageR_2.7 but do i suppose to update my radio??? ima noob

[Q] Random Restarts

Hey everyone,
I just put the cyanogenmod 7.0.2.1 on my HTC EVO 4G about a month ago. At first it was working fine, now it will just randomly restart not while I'm ever using it, but when it is sitting idle it will just restart at odd times. Has anyone else had this issue?
Everything else with the ROM is working awesome. Please Help.
No issues here, why don't you come up to date and flash the stable 7.0.3.1. Are you running any custom kernels by chance?
Here's the link to 7.0.3.1 just flash over your current rom and wipe dalvik-cache.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic-signed.zip
Oh thanks, been really busy with work, and hadn't had time to check for any updates. I appreciate the help very much. DL'ing the new ROM now.
Upgrade to the newer version. Maybe it'll help? Definitely clear cache & dalvik when you update.
Evo 4G / CM 7.0.3.1 - Tiamat 4.0.2 SBC / XDA Premium
I was running CM7 and went to a different Rom because of the reboots and been fine since. Tried all the usual things but phone would still freeze and reboot. Last one I was on was nightly 65. There are also a few threads around about the ROM bricking phones that it makes crash. As usual, nandroid if things don't work out.

That's non sense, bricking phones say whaaaaat. I've been running cyanogen roms since the G1 and I've never heard of cm bricking phone's. Don't let this person talk you out of cm lol.
If cm bricks your phone you're (1) an idiot, or (2) shouldn't be rooting your phone in the first place.

Yeah I like the CM7 ROM, but just can't take the restarts. I am going to upgrade to the newest stable release and see if that fixes it. I would like to stay with the CM7 if at all possible.

Its probably still there you just have to open a text window long press the text box and hit "input method". Once you hit input method swipe will still be there if it was installed.

I have ran many different roms and CM7 was the ONLY one that caused my phone to reboot many times a day. A quick google search can show you threads about owners who had phones that bricked after running CM7. I never said it was gospel, I just dont need my phone rebooting multiple times during the day and it was way more often when I had wimax connected. CM is a great rom but its not the second coming of Android and not worth my phone rebooting during the day.
And I am running Smooth N Sexy V1.2 A sense ROM that looks like gingerbread.
Reboots
I've been through several ROMs now and the reboot problem appears to be not a ROM issue!
Here is the story. I had started with Baked Snack, very good, but I wanted more battery and to try CM and get away from Sprint messaging update nag.
CM worked great, I updated to 7, until the reboots started to happen during heavy use of Angry birds.
So I restored to early CM 6.x, and reboots continued off and on every few days, getting progressively worse.
So I tried Warm 2.2, same issues.
I went back to CM7 and still trouble.
I went to Fresh and It was fine for a week, and then on Friday, (I noticed that Friday was significant), reboots again.
So after a month of this the reboots are so bad that I can't use the phone. I called Sprint, de-provisioned the EVO, went back to my Palm, and then unrooted and went back to Stock ROM, but with no Cell access.
The phone is stable now. As long as it's off the Sprint Cellular network!!!
All of the reboots were related to cellular activity. Messages coming in, ads being updated, calls coming in, tower switching, roaming, or worse of all, no tower signals at all.
I will post back here if the phone remains stable without cellular. But all of the research I have done on the issue has pointed to cellular access. I am on wifi and all the apps and functions are working without issues so far. I am starting a dialog with HTC to see if there is a hardware problem.
The reboots also caused heat in the general area of the SD card...don't know what else is there but I do know the cellular antennas are on that side of the phone. Leaving the battery out all night, after an off state recharge would help stabilize the phone for a while, including cache wipes and factory resets.
But once the phone had been on for a while, or Friday morning would come, the reboots would continue.
I have been a computer nut for 30+years and I solve issues for a living. I strongly suspect the radio hardware or firmware as the culprit in this reboot issue. Every other account of this has had similar connections to the radio use.
Agreed 100% , I've been rooting since the day it first became available and never bricked my phone or got stuck in a boot loop by just flashing a "rom". If I get reboots its because I either flashed a kernel or a very unstable rom. It makes me laugh that you think "CM7" is causing the reboots. You say its CM7, I say it's idiots who probably don't follow directions.

Dude its all good, no need to call anyone an idots because we all can have different experiences. Any ROM thread in the dev section has reboot posts some have resolutions, some go to another rom and some seem to be hardware issues. Just like you have been rooting since day one like I have doesnt mean that CM7 is NOT causing my phone to reboot when no other ROM does not.
Your welcome for me allowing me brighten up your day by making you laugh, dont take your personal experiences and spread them across every user like its the ONLY experience.

Im not saying cm roms make sense look like windows 95 lol, and I also don't think cm roms would keep me from jumping ship to a 4.3" iPhone 5 neither. I'm simply saying you're pointing the finger at cm being the cause I'm saying imo its 95% user error that's all. When do you hear of experienced users complain of cm (stable) causing reboots or boot loops? Don't worry ill wait....

Once more sir, I spoke from my own personal experience. Plain and simple CM7 was causing my EVO to reboot, and especially when it was on wimax or multitasking. Even from a clean install without restoring anything except for logging into google on the device. I spent 4 days troubleshooting the issue including trying different versions and nightlies. Oh yea..and before you ask the temps were normal on the device no higher than any other time.
But yet again another know it all here on XDA. Dam i must be dumb as **** to been flashing my phone since the froyo root method was released and never had another ROM give me that type of issue. The ROM is not worth me going back to the stock RUU and swapping hardware to since that seemed to be the the last variable after my troubleshooting. Not a big ****ing deal...my phone didnt agree with CM7 like I have seen a small number of other users out there. You dont see me around ROM threads always *****ing and moaning about issues when resolutions or known issues are posted on the first page or doing any other nonsense that I will guess others on here are doing that you may be referring to.
Obvious you are one of those XDA "experienced pros" that are quick think someone has no idea what they are doing with their phone. Post count doesnt mean everything bro.

[Q] Upgrading CM7 and another tablet Q

Ok i'll get the "easy" question outta the way..
Having bought my nook Color last in February i've pretty much stoped following what new ones are coming our and prices ect.. BUT a friend of mine wants to get his wife a tablet of some sort that will run netflix well and for general web browsing.. He also need something fairly cheap (less then 300 after tax) so i was wondering is the nook still his bet bet or is there something coming out in the next month or so (or already released) that would work better?
and now for the CM7 question.. i've due to work and everything i've been away from teh forums for a while and when i have been here i find a strait answer.. Currently my NC has CM7 on it (Kernel: 2.6.29-omap1 Mod version: CyanogenMod-7.0.2-encore Build: GRI40 OCed to 1100) for the most part i really like it.. BUT the lack of deep sleep make me almost never use it..
Reason for that is because i work 4 12 hour days of work so on my working days i pretty much work sleep eat and spend what time i can with my wife and kid.. so i dont touch my nook.. and i dont like leaving things charging for days on end so when its my week end my nooks battery is usually dead
From what i've read this has mostly been fixed with the newer nightly builds of CM7 with a different kernel.. my question is how do i go about upgrading? can i flash over my current build straight to the newest nightly? do i need to do a factory flash then up to the newest nightly? do i need to go though each nightly (VERY unlikely i think) what kernel do i need?
Thanks for all the help =)
OH also.. what about phiremod? i mainly use my nook for netlfix web surfing and the rare game.. would it be any better?

Yep.
BTW, stick to real CM7 instead of a ROM so that you can continue to upgrade like that when new things come out.

New Dell Streak User

Hi Guys,
Just got myself a Dell Streak from Rogers.
Now I own both an obsolete Dell Streak and HP TouchPad lol
Anyways, I'm about to attempt to install DSC v0.7 custom rom.
Who uses this? and is it good compared to GingerStreak?
Also any advice or tips for a new user?
Thanks!
Gingerstreak is just old and based on unofficial 405 release and not anymore developed, meanwhile DSC it's based on newest 407 official release and heavily developed and has a lot more stuff incorporated in it and way less buggy even compared to the official 407. I tried all gingers for the streak and found peace with DSC.
I use DSC 0.7. It is arguably the best custom Gingerbread ROM currently available. Rock solid stable with no "showstopper" bugs, it's also constantly updated. GingerStreak is no longer being maintained, to the best of my knowledge. As noted in this thread, the GingerStreak code is old code compared to DSC and has some pretty nasty bugs. I know Go Launcher EX doesn't like GingerStreak. Other apps may be just as finicky.
Don't bother with GingerStreak. Use DSC, but make sure you read the first post in the DSC thread carefully.
I installed DSC v0.7, and I noticed the WiFi tethering option is gone. But when i use a toggle it appears to work, but can't connect. Also using another app to turn on the tether, i can't seem to connect to it... anyone can shed some light on this?
Thanks a bunch for the peeps on the info above
EDIT:
I re-installed and the tether option appeared, but then I get a reboot and now the setting is gone??? wtf
EDIT2:
Fixed it, thanks to truefat's post, i deleted the rogers apn setting and works
Glad to see someone new here, ok here goes my tips, or should I rather say my setup that simply works.
ROM: DSC v0.7
launcher: Zeam
privacy app: PDroid and you will need PDroid DSC patch
anti-theft app: avast!
theme: DSC_MattedBlues V7
some notes:
works fine
currently under development
no deal breakers
is quite fast - can handle most power hungry games
MattedBlues theme breaks the SwiftKex X (phone) keyboard in landscape mode! not an issue if you don't use this keyboard
I just got mine tuesday night. So far loving it and excited to load a custom rom. Just having a hard time trying to get it rooted first.

yeah just read that. so used to old way i did it on my vibrant. going to attempt to download DCS this weekend....any tips outside of the guide>?
in the dsc thread, theres file for download, called a flashme pack
itll install the amss and dsp1 required for gingerbread, also installs the recovery , easy enough to do, put streak into fastboot mode run the command and connect phone to pc, does rest itself, then just install the rom via recovery mode
pretty easy to do once you get your head around it

Make sure you read and understand the warnings about using fastboot in the flashing guide and read Everything you wanted to know about the streak, but were too busy bricking it.
Fastboot and StreakMod Recovery are your main tools for modding the Streak.
Thanks for the advice. Running DSC very impressed so far. This phone is amazing.

You should get a replacement ASAP, before there aren't any left....
Or they'll send you a refurb one.

Welcome to the Streak family! lol...well you must be aware that most custom roms with 2.3 have some minor bugs that will probably bother your daily usage at times - random freeze/reboots...etc. Not saying that this happens often but quite rarely especially if you install an apk that cause instability.
Stock roms have also their issues, but they are by far the most reliable roms out there since they are very stable and suitable for daily usage.

O really.. I'm using DSC and its been great so far.. but I only got my streak on Tuesday, so I can't really say that its 100% stable.
But nonetheless, I am happy
Also upgraded the InnerSD to 8GB, modify the sd cache for faster reading speeds. (getting ~3x read speeds!!)

pssh, thats not so. If you install a custom rom you can always reflash back to stock (i havent read how to do so just yet on the streak, but im sure there is a way to backup the stock firmware).
Just to give you an example. My streak that came in last friday was dead on arrival. The touch screen was failing intermittently and from what ive read on the streak forums so far, a dead LCD in this phone is quite is a very possible situation. That replacement is 50+ bucks so might as well not do anything while you still have the 1 year warranty.
Software is mostly always fixable. Ive sent back two samsung infuses that i flashed the **** out of and then just reinstalled stock firmware and back they went. Both died within 2 months of receiving the phones. One screen burnt out, the other the GPS chip melted.
Well that's good of you to be cautious. Better be safe than sorry... As for me, I gave into temptation
Also in about a year, i'll be due for a free upgrade..
By then, i might not even use it.

Me Too!
I ran a CM9 Rom for a couple weeks. Kinda neat, but not ready at all.
It kinda made me realize that I wish everybody with these mad skills would just go ahead and focus on JB.
The Milestone guys seem to be making pretty good progress on CM10. Makes me a bit jealous.
Of course, I'm just a leach...
Any hope for sooner than 2013, if any at all?
Thanks,

If you are looking for a stable CM9 ROM you might wanna check out rootzwiki.
This ROM is very stable and I have no trouble with it - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18697-cyanogenmod-9-unofficialbeta-819/

That's the one I ran for 10 days or so. I had to bail out.
My phone ran slower, I missed the camera functioning properly (mine didn't work at all), "Clock" kept crashing, causing missed alarms and burnt pizza and I'm pretty sure Phone Mute didn't work. Plus the screen sensitivity wasn't nearly as good.
The saddest part was my nandroid backup failed md5 check going back to my well dialed in CM7 7.2.0 that I really had no problem with and I liked how well everything worked. I had to reinstall and start restoring from TB.
Maybe I'll try it again...

Strange that you had those issues. The only persistant one I've seen is the keyboard backlight being on all the time with Autobrightness, not being able to change the values, and the mute problem.
I was actually very impressed with the camera as the pictures are fine and Paper Camera works, which it did not on MIUI V4.
Guess we'll see what happens but my and other's suggestion to the devs on Rootz was just to focus on getting the current ICS Roms perfected rather than messing with JB and having to start from scratch knowing all the hardware issues that they are going to encounter. As I said there we have fully functioning Google Now, so the only benefit we might see would be Project Butter implementation and I don't think that's work the headaches.
Either ICS or JB is fine with me. Like I have some say in the matter...
But it seems like the appearance of the JB rom for the Milestone would mean that getting JB going on the D2 would follow along more simply.
Of course, CM7 runs really well on my phone. Angry Birds loads up quickly. My daughter plays Temple Run and doesn't complain about issues. I get some goofiness with the touchscreen while the charger is connected, but my D1 did that too.
In the 10 days I ran CM9, I got used to a couple ICS features that might have been better, but not that much. That I noticed anyway.
Bottom line, for me, is that if CM7 is as far as it goes, I have a good phone that I can roll down to my daughter later. But if ICS or JB worked really well, then all the fanboys I have to deal with would have to shut up...
Did I put all that in the right thread? Things are swirling together...

Help
Sorry for being terrible at doing this, but can someone tell me the best cm9 download and/or give me detailed instructions of how to flash?

If you check the actual Rom thread here or on Rootz there are detailed inductions.
