Cyanogenmod 9 (Latest) Bugs List & Solutions

OK! After I switched from GingerDX to CM9, I had been thinking of creating this thread like I did with GingerDX!
FYI, this thread is showing the bugs that appeared in CM9 Latest.
I really want to say thank you to Master Paul-xxx for supporting us and developing this ROM!

BUGS LIST & SOLUTIONS...
...............................................
(X) means confirmed.
(?) means not confirmed.
................................................
:: (Latest) Bugs ::
- Major bugs: FM Radio, Camera, Microphone (Said its fixed but not). (X)
Solution: Change to nAa's MiniCM9 and wait for fixes.
- Video Decoder is partially fixed. (X)
Solution: It can be fixed by installing any video player with its own video decoder, such as Mobo or MX Video Player. It's still a bit laggy and low quality though.
- Wifi is not working. (X)
Solution: Use this A2DP_wifi fix by B.Jay to enable Wifi. Note that some internet connections may cause it to constantly disconnect and connect.
- In-call volume is quite low. (X)
Solution: During a call, click the hard volume button to the highest, and lower the volume one time. It would be much louder than maximum. After some time though, the fix goes off. You need to reboot and do it again.
- Gallery settings is not working. (X)
Solution: Easy, download QuickPic from Play Store. Its 10x better!!
- Some people have problem with momentary screen cuts. (X)
Solution: Try changing the CPU governor to SmartAssV2 and increase the frequency to 729mhz. It may reduce or solve the screen cuts.
- Trebuchet (Default) Launcher is very laggy and heavy. (X)
Solution: Use a custom-edited Trebuchet launcher, such as Apex or Nova Launcher.
- Speakers start to crackle when you set the volume near to the maximum volume. (X)
Solution: Don't set it too high, and reconfigure your settings in Equalizer to almost flat bass and treble.
- Wifi tab keeps sliding back when you try to on" it on Alfs V08. (X)
(GUYS, ITS BEST IF YOU USE THE RECOMMENDED KERNEL, WHICH IS nAa KERNEL!)
Solution:
1. Full wipe, wipe the cache and the dalvik cache.
2. Flash nAa 11, and reflash the ROM.
3. fix dchpcd file in the ROM and connect the wifi to see if it works, if it works then turn off phone.
4. Flash Alfs V08.
5. Don't flash update Vold + Chargemon.zip and don't wipe cache and dalvik cache!
- Selecting reboot to recovery and bootloader in power option doesn't work. (X)
Solution: Download GooManager, it has a reboot to recovery option and many more features too.
- Boot animation's resolution is not right. (X)
Solution: Download the resized boot animation in this thread and follow the instructions there.
OR
Change to any other boot animation of your choice, as long as it is in 320x480 size.
- Phone bootloops frequently.
Solution: Use another version of Gapps.

There's a bug I already mentioned in Paul's thread, and some people confirmed that they have the same (but we got no answer from anyone...):
when you hear music, and you press pause, and then you make a call (the time doesn't matter, even after 2 hours), when you hang up, the previous paused music starts playing by itself.

Thanks, adding it now...

Guys, don ´t know if you have this problem on your x8s, we have it on mini pros - reboot to recovery isn´t working for us. Solution /somewhat twisted but working/: install goo-inside app / http://goo-inside.me/devs/s0updev/gooinsideme /, it´s handy for other things too, but you can also successfully reboot to recovery from it.

sometimes the phone turn to silent mode and sometimes it vibrate without doing anything "always think i got msg or something but i find nothing"

The proximity sensor doesn't work for me. It's annoying especially when I'm making a call and my face accidentally press the mute button.
I also have a problem with the touchscreen when I'm texting. I immediately send the message when I press the first letter.
I'm using Alfs kernel btw.

You have proximity sensor in nAa11? I didn't try nAa11 that much since it feels laggy for me. I just flashed nAa11 at first, then flash Alfs kernel so I can use the wifi

Yes, the screen darkens when I am calling. So, maybe using Alfs, performance will be better, but using nAa, you will get less bugs...

Ok two things I'd like to report about the stated bugs about the song disrupting when locking/unlocking phone, the problem seems to occur seldomly on Alfs v8 and frequently on nAa 11 so i think it's a kernel bug. And for gallery, replace stock gallery with QuickPic app from Play Store 10 times better and has all the same functions as ICS gallery (even the UI looks similar with its latest update ) !...oh and btw, my name is RohinZaraki, not RobinZaraki xD actually laughed my ass off !

I tried this and IT WAS AWESOME. It seems like 10 times better is an understatement especially when setting wallpapers. Thanks for the tip

maybe theres something like app setting? try wipe dalvik/cache and restart...

Some app might be waking your phone screen. I had this problem with CM9 some time back. Check with BetterBatteryStats. For me it turned out to be a task killer.:cyclops:

You could download Greenify from the PlayStore. It will tell you which apps cause the wakeups. You can then "Greenify" apps that cause wakeups. This will stop those apps from running in the background and draining battery.
Hope this helps.

Best is to flash full latest Wanamlite <rom and the check results. Not ONLY the kernel!
I wish you it is not HW related. Have a camspeed test (free app at playstore).

Do you have HDR on, if so turn it off. HDR needs 3 exposures (think of it as 3 shots) ; it WILL therefore lag.

nope is the Auto mode only.
i guess is something to do with the memory hogging , making the cam app to open bit slow
few times i tried to clear memory open it would open fast ...
but need some more better solution

I have the same problem, anything that related to the camera app like flashlight apps get my phone stuck
and need a lot of time to open,
I have the last Wanamlite version (1.8) with ADAM KERNAL.
someone can help me?

I tried many things also updated new firmware
Also tried ...wamma lite rom,
Crash rom
But still getting it ...
So now usually use task killer widget and clear all memomry before opening the camera app
And it opens in a jiffy ..no issue
Try tht if it help

I also got this issue with the ram memory when it is very low (less than 100Mb free) camera doesn't either fully start!!!
Then I rebooted got a full 1Gb free and a perfect camera back!
RAm management is not really perfect on this device!

Stock gallery slow rotation.

On stock gallery for no obvious reason screen rotation when viewing pictures can become very slow. Is anyone else facing such an issue?

Hi !
Yes, I was just looking for that, and found this post.
Now we're officially two facing that issue :/
EDIT : it's actually in every app that rotates, not only in gallery.

True that..it happened after 4.4.2 update..
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hey, I have the same problem, the screen rotation was ridiculously slow (3-5sec) in every app.
However, I just contacted Samsung about this issue and they said that a factory reset would solve it.
I'm gonna try that now and after I'll let you know if it actually worked!

the stock samsung gallery has always been horrible and slow, since my first SGS2 to my actual SGN3 n9005.
I solved the problem by switching to quickpic from the android market. its free, no ads, the same functions (and some more) and most importatnt: it's really fast! just try it, it's only a few KB I think, and it's the perfect solution for me!

Problem with On Demand TV apps
I have a real niggle at the moment where I cannot use the BBC iPlayer, the ITV Player or the 4OD apps. The apps work and provide the ability to select programmes to watch but each fails to play video and audio (sometimes e.g. iPlayer there is broken/distorted audio).
I have noted that there are a few similar reports on maclaw.pl from other rom users.
In earlier versions of the ROM these apps did work, but I cannot recall which. I am currently using 11-20140318-UNOFFICIAL-golden.
I used to get lots of reboots but after installing this ROM and doing a factory reset these have stopped. This version for me is incredibly stable and works well except for this issue.
Can this be resolved?

gaming app bugs
I've downloaded two apps on my s3 mini and there are bugs that i never experienced with stock rom
the new app flappy bird makes a distorted sound when the bird in the app falls and some of the letters in the app jus come up as small black boxes.
i was getting the same problem with a game called car parking the letters bearly show up and the sound is distorted when i navigate through the menus.
i have no idea whether its a problem with the rom or if its the apps that bug out itself

Maybe the problem with audio driver ..
Just a suggestion try to backup your rom then un install dspmanager and flash acid audio engine with clear audio + addon and see if it is solved .. if not just restore your rom again .... ( just for trying)
I was using it with my wonder and now use it with s3 mini and work good

Yeah thanks for that never thought of that will try that later ....... BTW jus asking what's the latest version of the rom? Is there an update for it?
