[Q] Random reboots on CM-based roms - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

The past several days, I have been noticing random rebooting on both Official CM 10.1, and PAC-rom, which is CM based. The way it usually goes is: while interacting with the phone, the display will totally freeze for several seconds, then reboot.
Anyone else noticed this lately?

They're both a work in progress and it's not unknown to get some rr's. They'll get better as the devs work on them. Keep trying the updates.

CM is always a work in progress, then something better comes out, and dev for CM suddenly drops waaay off. Atrix 4G with CM7 had the same problem; endless reboots when i tried to play music, random stuff would work/not work with every update, and everything kept changing. I got sick of it pretty quickly, and i wont run CM anything again.

I've found I only get rrs when using KT's kernel and the ktoonservativeq governor. Using AOKP, CM, and Slim Bean on their stock ROMs, I have zero rrs and I've TRIED to reproduce all the conditions that cause them. What I've found is it appears to be tied into the GPU rendering as I get these rrs when either scrolling through long pages on Tapatalk or Twitter or using the AOSP camera. Haven't reproduced using any other process yet and it doesn't always happen at the same time or place (ie x seconds after boot or crossing x post).

Does this happen on a brand spanking new, untouched, stock copy of the rom your running?
Which is CM10.
These kind of problems are the exact reason I jumped off the aosp bandwagon. One thing after another. Just not worth it to me.

Some things not right on CM7. What rom are you using?

Some things not right on CM7. What rom are you using?
Call wonks, portrait / landscape issues, lockups, just tired. Need a superuser rom.
What's problem-free with audio boost?
None of those problems here, running CM7 7.0.2.1
Same here. None of those for me on 7.0.2

Flashed 7.0.2 yesterday on my D1, and today flashed back to Simply Stunning 5.2. The 7.0.2 build just doesn't work for me... it's responsive, snappy, and stable....oh, accept that it dumps my homescreen Widgets whenever it rebooted or after prolonged periods of having the screen off (other have this issue as well). I also couldn't manage to get Wireless Tether working on it, even after an uninstall, reinstall, and fresh binaries set up. Other than not having a set of usable homescreens, it seems great though. I'll wait for a new build, and give it another shot...a rare miss from CM.

Big improvements on 7.0.2.1. Most of my previous issues seem to be gone.

I'll have to check it's out then. I, like a lot of others, was really bemused by the lack of stability. Considering it took so long to get CM7 for the Droid, I was expecting the first release to be well tested and really amazing. Hopefully the issues have been hammered out.

Been using formels MIUI. If you do go MIUI i would say go with a home replacement like launcherpro/ADW. Cant stand the normal homescreen of MIUI
Dropped CM7 at 7.0.3.... it just wasn't working out for me on a lot of levels. I found Liquid Gingerbread though, and its been absolutely amazing! None of the occasional bloat that comes with CM7, and it's surprisingly more customizable. I was also averaging a 1013 quadrant score on the stock kernel (800 MHz), vs around 825 with CM7. Most importantly, it doesn't drop 3g, which means I can actually use Wireless Tether! All in all, I think I'll be sticking with Liquid for a while...and did I mention? Not a single FC in the 2 weeks I've been on it!

The CM7 nightlies have finally rid the wonk and the call delay should be fixed in the next nightly.
since a few months I went over to the RoDrIgUeZsTyLe MIUI mod, and by the looks of it right now, I won't be going back.
It's faster and my battery lasts longer.
I've been using cm7 nightly's and get weird lock/unlock issue. Buttons light up, but the screen stays dark.
Rather annoying, I could use a new ROM as well.

this is a bug they are trying to kill. when this happens and i was trying to unlock my device, i just wait a few seconds to let the screen lock itself again which is indicated by the 4 button lights going back off. then press again and the screen should turn on properly this time, swipe to unlock, done.

Yeah, that's what I've started to do.
Still get screen lockups and portrait / landscape sticks Thinking about blandroid.

Hay
Where i download liquid ginger rom for nexus
Thanks
I would also like to know where i can get the liquid ginger rom.
Evervolv. I switched to it from cm7 due to the same issues OP is running into.
Call wonks, portrait issues, freezes, no 90 degree... after every update i give it a try and end up back to 6.1.1
From The G Slate
I'd use Blandroid if my power button worked... D:
Tried installing blandroid but rom wouldn't take. It kept installing CM7. Tried rom manager and boot off sd card. Errored out even with signature verification on or off.
Looks like liquid ginger is for the evo.

Spontaneous Reboots Atrix / OTA Gingerbread

My Atrix is running stock Gingerbread, rooted. It has spontaneously rebooted between twice a day and once every-other day since I did the OTA update last summer. I am experiencing 8 to 10 reboots per week.
I don't care at all about the finger-print scanner and only care somewhat about webtop. I do care about the reboots. This makes me consider CM7.
I don't know the root cause of these reboots, the usual suspects being, poorly written apps, kernel bugs and flaky RAM. I have not been able to detect any pattern that points to any one cause.
Q1: Is this typical OTA-GB behavior on Atrix?
Q2: What is the stability of the latest CM7 beta? Does anyone actively running it (daily usage) experience this level of random reboots. I am hoping for responses from CM7 daily drivers, not users who swap ROMs frequently.
Thank you.
Q1. Yes, I had a 4-5 reboots in a week. Usually happened when my data got stuck.
Q2. Not one reboot, yet. On CM7 for alittle over a month now.

I am running CM7, and have been since the beta came out. No problems whatsoever, except maybe the wifi, but that's to be expected. Before that I was running stock GB, updated OTA, also no reboots. I think it's a little weird that yours is rebooting that often, how long have you had that phone? Perhaps it's hardware related?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I got my Atrix on opening day. If it is failing RAM, I need to check on my warranty limits with ATT.
What is the issue with Wifi and CM7? I have not noticed wifi issues on OTA-GB.
The media apps I frequently run are TuneIn, Podtrapper, PowerAmp, I also run news apps for BBC, NYTimes, Bloomberg, CNN & NPR. Many of my reboots happen when moving in or out of TuneIn and PodTrapper. I can't definitively say these apps are the problem because I keep them running most of the time.
Good data point. Thanks.
I have delt with reboots since purchasing the phone, and accross all of the roms that I have tried(both official and unofficial). Recently my WiFi failed. If I turned on the wifi it would just say error and sometimes reboot the phone. after wiping the phone completely I tried stock, cherry pi, and cm7. CM7 was the only one that would last more than 2 minutes without rebooting but I could still not turn on wifi. I became convinced that I had defective hardware and had the phone replaced. There is a good chance that you have defective hardware.
Shortly after starting this thread I changed from LauncherPro to GO Launcher. Since then the reboots have dropped to 1 or 2 total in the past month.
I don't that know all rebooting was the fault of LauncherPro but it seems clear that it was a significant contributor.

More then likely it's one apps that you have installed are was undated from market.. Try doing factory reset then adding app"s 1 @ time to see which one is causing the issue.
No wifi or bluetooth
I'm running a rooted, unlocked, stock gingerbread. Everytime I attempt to kick off wifi or bluetooth, it reloads. I'm going to try CM7 and see if that helps

Well at this point, it's not broke and l'm not going to fix anything.
As I said, I don't entirely blame LauncherPro, but suspect it was conflicting with another application. I haven't seen a flood of complaints about LP.
At this point, I am quite pleased with my Atrix. I have no desire to get one of the new phones.

[Q] Why does my screen stay on for hours and drain the battery?

My screen randomly turns on and completely drains my battery. I had been running CM 7.1 without issue, then I tried out ICS and this started happening. I switched back to CM 7.1 and it happened again.
Searching around for what it could be, some people think the facebook app could do it. I will uninstall that for now.
See screen shots below.
Using CM9
Are you using CM9? If so, the reason why it's so buggy is that the CyanogenMod team has just started developing ICS and it's in the Alpha stage.

Like I said, it starting happening with the ICS ROM (the one from the fattire thread), then I switched back to CM7 and it continues to happen.
My girlfriends rooted nook has this happen every now and then. I've have it happen before on CM7. I'm not really sure if it's a ROM thing or a hardware thing but I'd love to know what causes it.

[Q] Tab always gets slow a few hours after flashing a ROM (any ROM)

I've had my tab for almost a year and I always have the same issue with every single ROM. When I flash a ROM everything works great for a few hours but by the end of the day it gets soooo slow. It gets so slow web browsing is next to impossible. Scrolling web pages becomes painfully slow and even the most basic functions such as screen unlock and other basic UI slowdowns are driving me nuts. If I use recovery to wipe the cache & Dalvik cache things speed up quite a bit, while a factory reset or re-flash bring it back to where it should be for a few hours. Regardless, it always ends up slowing back down. I've used everything from Stock HC and stock ICS, Task650 ICS and HC, to CM9 and CM10 (to include AOKP and other CM based builds) and a few others with CPU speeds everywhere from stock to 1.4GHZ. I've also tried every kernel I've found to no avail. It runs great right after a flash which is why I find it hard to believe that my issue is simply "the Tegra 2 just sucks". Anyone else have similar issues or any insight?
Never man. I've had my tablet about the same amount of time. I've flashed a bunch and it's been great. I'm on Infamous2 with A1 1.6.4 and it flies. It almost does sound like something hardware related.

Yeah it's Bizarre. Never had any issue like this on my Vibrant or my new SGS3 but this thing has done this since day one. At first I thought it was the stock ROM and then when I flashed the super Alpha CM9 and it was fast for a few hours I thought It would improve as CM became nightlies.
I only ever had this problem on hc 3.1. Ever since 3.2 no more lagging or slow down. Even better with ics as well. Not really sure why yours is doing that.

Nexus 7 on Cm 11

Hello guys, I currently own a nexus 2nd Gen it's rooted and running the latest cm 11 nightly build. Sometimes it make a buzzing noise while I'm listening to music or watching videos or it froze and restart itself that happen at least 3-4 times a day. I was wondering if that happens anyone else and how to fix it
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I've never had the buzzing but I don't use the speakers much.
The freezing and rebooting I have had both on stock and cm11. Best uptime I'd get was ~24 hours.
After flashing the latest Glitch kernel it's been up for ~106 hours. All location services turned on, syncing, google now, same apps etc.
Too soon to tell I guess but definitely an improvement.
I thought I was the only one it's getting really annoying, other roms are fine
I sometimes have buzzing sound for a short period of time. But I am using stock rooted 4.4.2.
I get this too, also happens in games
happened to me only on stock cm11
I ask this everywhere but does OTG work with latest cm11 nightly for flo? It is important for me since I cannot flash any other kernel to get it working

Can you tell all your glitch kernel settings?
Buzzing Noise fix
Flash the stock Android 4.4.2 ROM back on your Nexus 7 and the install Xposed.
Why would you need a custom version of 4.4.2 on your tablet that's already running 4.4.2 when the Xposed Framework works just as well.
EDIT - I've had no problems with buzzing noises or freezing on stock rom with unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Yup - same here. I've actually experienced this on both CM 10 and CM 11. The audio distortion out of the speakers is horrible. CM roms are the only ones that have this problem. I wonder if it has something to do with DSP Manager that's included with the CM Roms??
I agree with previous posters in this thread too - Stock rooted 4.4.2 is all you really need. Been flawless on my N7 2013.
I have the same issue
It usually happens when I watch a video from youtube or twitch. My tablet buzzes like kind of similar to someone getting an answer wrong in a game show.
I just need to go back to stock.
Can confirm that there's a buzz sound and a 1-3 second freeze using the CM11-M2 build.
After flashing the Jan 24 CM11 build, and the glitch kernel (using all stock settings except overclock to 1.7ghz cpu and 500mhz GPU), buzz sound is gone and all is well.
It happened to me with latest cm nightlies, and with all of them I had freezes and hangs. I went back to stock rom with elementalx kernel and i don't have any of these issues. I think cm overall is less stable and faster than stock rom. it's good for non nexus devices, but with nexus is better to stick to stock. I've tried other ROMs as well, nothing compares to stock in performance and stability.

Glitch kernel + cm nightlies = awesome mode
Still have more than 30% battery left
I have a problem with play store. It doesn´t load all the app images. Some of them are just blank while browsing apps.
I have tried latest nightlies, clearing app data and I have even tried a factory reset and I am still experienceing the same problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
