First of All Thanks to CM dev's for this awesome roms they have been providing us.
But for some time now, I have been facing some odd issues with my cell.. I'll describe them over here.. Here it goes
1. Issues with OTG Pendrives
This is a weird one i must say for me at-least. The problem is whenever i connect my OTG pendrive to my cell phone. either my cellphone does a soft restart and then loads it(along with it, it also disappears all my apps which are stored in my memory card. thus i cant access them also.) OR it will just my pendrive but again by making my apps in memory card disappear.(in both the scenario my memory card is unmounted everytime, hence the disappearing of apps.)
2. Issue with Loudspeaker.
I had this issue with My stock rom also(i am just adding it here so that atleast someone here might know the solution.). so the problem goes this way. whenever i tried/try(as in now on cm12.1 and in stock rom) a video/song/any file with sound in it, the loudspeaker just plainly wont work. It was like it had his own mood then whenever it wants it'll otherwise it wont. so This problem is still going on in Cm12.1 since i have installed cm on my Xperia SP device. i just cant figure out the issue as to why this is happening. since when i make a call the front speaker through which we hear also doesn't work. But if i turn loudspeaker option on then it will work properly(the loudspeaker). and i can play songs also at that point of time(this is what is odd in this, ie i can play songs while on call via loudspeaker but i cant play while normally i try to play them.).
3. battery drain issue
every i am using my cellphone and i see that my battery is at 5%. i have to look for charger because. when my cellphone shows me 5% on the very next min it will show me 0% and shut down the system. this is sometimes annoying since it will show 8% (below 10% you can say) and the very next min i get the problem that the system is shutting down. this gets annoying when i am doing some important stuff and i suddenly shuts down
If anyone over here know the solution to this issues, please help me with them. since it is literally frustrating sometime that i have to wait for my cell to soft reboot just to access some data in it.
Thank you.
2. might be a hardware problem (I won't confirm this, wait for other people)
3. It just prevents you from getting into a BIG Problem....(to keep some battery reserved to respond to offline charging)
If you use the Device's Battery to its fullest, It would get completely turned off, and if unluckily if Offline Charging didn't work... Its GONE

25. Phone remains "locked" after MS activation, no amount of unlocking works. *mod edit - try method 2 : here *
Notes:
A. some issues are windows phone 7 related that we should wait for microsoft to fix them see the list here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836373
B. I will request the next rom update to be an hd7 reg edited as default , so that we will only need to use the activation code without cracking the phones security with (chevron wp7.exe ) as with the next microsoft ypdate we will not be able to use it any more.
C. All problems are being repeated now , i think the list above includes it all ,one more day and i will be reporting all these issues on the chinees forum , or to cotulla ,
A very big problem don't let your phone empty its charge as it can't be charged while it is off and it will die unless you find a way to charge it externally
I hope that cotulla this repaired
Speciall the camera
wifi problem, phone don't open the site but is connect to the router
WiFi problem - I can't see all WPA secured WiFi networks, I can find (and connect) my WiFi at home, but at work, HD2 doesn't see WiFi there...
Yesterday I answered the phone and the opposite side can't hear me (radio 2.15.., I don't know, just the last version)
Sometimes the phone is little bit laggy, I think, that the problem is in the SD card, when I used the phone w/o card (before hard-reset ofc), everything was faster
1. Speaker is very loud
2. Hope Market will be soon available for all.
I will be updating the list issue periodically and I might register to dft forum to report it all if he is not going to xda anymore

Known issue with Magldr.
Warning!
Installed win phone 7 on my HD2, and it formated my 16 gb memory card in a secured partition, all data was erased, and i could not format it using any windows tools, so the only solution for me was to "Hard" Format it using a free software called SDFormatter, it formated and brought back to life my microSD Card.
So people, back up your data before flashing.
So far one issue: it takes quite a lot of time to turn off the phone
Regarding the camera, using flash gives green tint. No other problems from the reported ones.

I had the same problem. I've noticed that the wlan channel from my wlan router was 13. I switched the channel to 11 and then WP7 find my wlan...
So, WP7 doesn't support wlan channels higher then 11...
wifi mac address will change if you reboot the phone.
The type isn't clear when you scroll down or up in the system menu, it takes a little bit time when the type is clear again.
The next problem for me is that I don't know how to set up wireless synchronization, I think I've done everything according to Microsoft pages, but it doesn't work for me.
And then I have the same problems like you, loud speakers, camera...
Well, after reading most of the posts here I guess I was lucky, WiFi and Mobile data connection worked for me, the phone was fast (faster than Android).
The whole WP7 seems to be 'airy' and not so heavy as Android, I liked the look of emails, large and clear fonts, easy to read and navigate. But on the whole, the system seems to be too closed off, not much customization is available.
I did manage to unlock it and install some 3rd party apps but soon the phone would give me a message that 'Microsoft has revoked' the particular program. Also the phone keeps locking itself over and over. I got tired of unlocking it every time I wanted to install a new app. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. Had to either reset the phone or PC many times in order for things to work.
Does anybody know a solution to this?
I could have asked MS to give me the 'key' so that live services could be used but was not sure I want to keep this OS on my phone. It may be similar to Vista issue, a nice looking OS but buggy. Somehow I have a feeling that a new and (much) improved WP7 is around the corner.
Couple of tips:
If you want to sync your contacts, calendar, etc., the easiest way is to go through Google. If you used an Android ROM before this should not be a problem. Back up all your contacts in Android by using your Google account, once you are in WP7 go to Settings - People - Gmail and sign in. It will automatically sync your contacts to the phone - painlessly. You can also choose not to have your Facebook contacts mixed with the phone's ones. Up to you.
If you want to revert back to WinMO 6.5 or Android:
- take out your SD card first
- turn off your phone and then hold the Vol Down key as you press and hold the Power button (get into Bootloader screen)
- flash the official ROM (3.14 RUU is recommended)
- use your photo camera to format your SD card (if you have a card holder, stick in, and then format)
- if you wish you can format your SD card again once you put it back into your phone and plug it into your PC
It worked for me. I am using my SD card again to run Android (flawlessly)

After unlock the phone, you have to use 2 softs :HTC Connection Setup and Tom WP7 Jailbreak in order to prevent from MS remote lock. Have you used it before?

Hey all. I installed Mango 2 days ago and had 0 issues with it up until today. Today when I plugged it in to charge, my focus immediately turned off and restarted. I left it off charge for a few hours, and now when I try to charge again, it keeps restarting. The phone works perfectly fine while not plugged in, but whenever I plug it in, it goes into a constant restarting cycle.
It doesn't matter whether its plugged in via USB or to the wall. I have no idea whats going on. Can't charge my phone :s
Did you ever get a fix for this? I'm having the same issue.

I don't know the problems are same but i am sure the symptoms are. I have Omnia 7 and I was facing the same problems for a while. In the end I fixed it.
I think battery had some conduction problems. You can try to clean this and make sure battery is not loose. Mine was shutting down with a tiny shake when it's not connected to charge. While in charge it was looping at the boot. I've tried everything to make it work. In the end, i figured it out, the battery had no charge to open itself and the electricity coming from USB is not enough to operate the phone sufficiently. I charged the phone via wall charger, it restarted few times and became stable.
My english is not very well for explaining this situtation and I hope it helps.
And yes, Mango might have a role in this because it's a really good battery drainer.
My Samsung focus i917R keeps restarting
Hello everyone,
Please be patient and bear with me while I try to tell you my story.
Background:
I bought the Samsung Focus i917R in September 2011, it had NoDo OS version that time. I read a lot about the microSD card issue and I really needed more than 8GB space on my phone. I had options to go with other HTC phone and not ever deal with Samsung ever but at that time Samsung Focus seem to be the best Windows Phone in the market to me (Amoled screen). I did a lot of research for a compatible microSD card and found that someone broke open an HTC (I believe it was HTC, don’t remember 100%) phone and found that it is using Sandisk class 4 memory card. So, I went with a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 memory card. My phone didn’t really give me any problem. I used up almost 17GB out of 22GB total memory.
Actual Story:
Then I updated my phone to Mango in end of Oct. I don’t remember if I started to have restart issue right after Mango update, but I noticed if I use my phone for a long time, like playing games or use the internet or use IM+ Pro or use Slacker Radio, it gets warm and then restarts. At that time I thought may be because I am using microSD card.
So, in Dec I formatted my phone and installed the newer Sandisk Mobile 8GB Class 4. I noticed I still have the same issue. This is very disappointing. I am only using 3GB space out of 15GB. So, I removed the microSD card and formatted the phone again. Now I have only 8GB and no microSD card. I still have the same issue. I will give you guys some examples of the issue.
Issue example:
If I run the Slacker Radio for over 10 min or so, the phone will get warm and it will restart.
Use the native Microsoft bing map app for a while and the phone feels warm and it will restart. I don’t think the phone gets hot or anything. This much heat for a mobile device should be acceptable. I was using iPhone 3G before I bought the Samsung and I don’t think the Samsung gets any hotter.
Let me know if any of you ran into similar issue. I don't know what to do. I bought the phone from a guy (he bought it from Rogers) and don't have the papers, not sure if it is still under warranty. Somewhat disappointed in Samsung.
I have same issues mentioned by albertleao, but could not find any solution. Can anyone post a solution too, please......

I have the same issues!
I thought the problem is related to the battery - so I purchased a new one - didn't make a difference!
I am using my Focus as a phone only, not a smartphone.
When I start running any program it starts a re-booting cycle. I have to turn it off for about 5 minutes before it will start up again. As a phone it will work 90% of the time without re-booting.
I noticed that this has accrued after the AT&T upgrade. I a thinking about installing the original rom!
Any suggestion will be welcomed.
G.E.
focus keeps restarting
dump retail stock rom 1.3 or 1.4 depending upon ur device thn try to update ur phone will b reach at factory condition enjoy
All we have always heard about the "media server" draining battery bug on S3/Note 2...
Well, i never suffered of this bug... but today my phone wake up with media being on top of the battery panel and being always active...
My rom is XDME6
what shall I do? Any other with that issue?
u probably need to use better battery stats to check first.
1) It could be due to Corrupted SD card , either the songs or pictures.
- My personal experience for this. My SD card when i check number of files, it shows 900, however, when i check i only have 700 mp3.
200 extra hidden files are creating problem. I formatted the card and recopy the mp3, issue resolve
Or it could a new App you have installed, it doesnt shut down properly leading to wakelock
- I too have this issue, after i installed one game, i realise this issue. (probably coz i play the game with max volume )
anyway in the end, i greenify the game, issue resolved.
I too experianced this recently. But after searching a bit I understood that the problem was in my 32gb external SD. So I copied everything in my sd to my PC and formatted it. Then put the only the important files back. It takes sometime but it's worthy. And now I'm having superb battery life

I experienced this when I had it plugged from my phone micro-USB to built-in USB port in the car.
It turns out the car was constantly looking through my phone to browse for music and show on the dash. Once I stopped plugging it into the car, I no longer saw it.

The problem is REALLY SERIOUS.
MicroSD unmounted. 4 cores at 100% .... process android.media 84% cpu usage...
OK PROBLEM FIXED
:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
It was my fault!
On formatting and restoring my old settings (upgrading the rom) I copied the EA Real Racing 3 data folder on the wrong directory :laugh:
So the media scanner was going crazy for this..... :silly:
Overheating on my Galaxy S4.
I have a Galaxy S4 for about a year, I have this problem almost since I bought it, but it appears and reappears, so I let it go.
My Galaxy S4, using WhatsApp Music and the CPU temperature rises to just using these programs 45-50ºC
Using only the poweramp the instrument reaches 65c for no reason.
Using browser is hopeless, the device rises to 50-70 degrees and finally restarts or shuts down.
When I bought the unit in the first week I realized that he was heating a lot, but did not reach this temperature (50-70) normally.
I read in various forums that the normal temperature of the Galaxy S4 units were 35-56c
Recently, I downloaded a few albums of music and some pictures on my phone that day he shot and started this strange behavior, and following the same steps bellow, the problem still persists.
I already own a Galaxy Note and I have witnessed the bug "AndroidMediaScanner".
I did all the steps (exeto formatting the MicroSD, I recently formatted to exFAT SD) Until I checked the status of the reading process of media using the Android ADB, there was nothing abnormal ..
Even without the memory card, few files in SD (just applications) the problem still appears.
What do you think? It may be a hardware problem that requires replacement?
It may be the battery?
It may be the ROM • (when the OmegaROM use a series of modules Xposed)
Recently reinstalled the ROM and the problem still persists.
I read in a blog that the DS Battery Saver could be giving conflict with the manager's native battery used in the Galaxy S4, I uninstalled the program, yet the problem persists warming.
Connected to the USB temperature suddenly increases to 65c without any reason or use.
What recommend?
Sorry for the English. I used Google translator.
Maybe i attach prints.
My initial thought would be to get a new battery. Becaus it jumps so drastically when you start charging it. You could also check your battery connections. Make sure they are free from dust and corrosion.

Ever encountered moisture near my battery (cover).
I try to buy a battery when you can.
But do you have any recommendations?

You have to find the "service" that is turning in background....
If you mind it is the AndroidMediaScanner, I can say from experience ( it was killing my battery in less than 5 hours)
I stopped this issue (flaw) by cleaning one by one my Music folders and deleting those empty or having no music file in it ( that sometime comes when you clean a directory from the music player interface) .
then my phone turning back to normal temperature state.

I said in the text that has nothing wrong with MediaScanner Android. I used the Android Debug Bridge to verify this and it appears to be normal.
The application showed 10% CPU usage when the unit was starting.
I used OS Monitor app (it shows up the processes of the Linux kernel and user) in order to find some buggy process that was doing it.
I removed 4GB of external memory file and checked the Android Debug Bridge MediaScanner if the process had been stuck at some file storage.
There was no error in both stores.
I witnessed this primary failure of the Android system twice on my old Galaxy Note.
Thxz for reply.
whats the solution
I just updated my phone to my latest software update and it started heating suddenly.
Any one of you facing this issue?

It would be ok to share more details on the update itself, phone, when was the update, for how long it is already heated, do you have an SD Card or not, a lot of files on the phone (Music, Photos, PDF's, documents)?...
It's probably the IndexService process running, or there is an app that causing the phone to over process and use the full power of the CPU. Let it alone for a couple of hours and see if there's a change. If not and you have an SD, remove it. If that doesn't work, delete all the files in the internal and on the SD card (WITHOUT FORMATTING! ONLY DELETING! ) and see if that solved the problem. If you have rolled all the options above, and non of them worked for you, you should search for an app that causes all of that. If no app was found, format the phone.
Good luck
Also, what carrier, and what update version? That would be useful info, if nothing else, to help others who are reading.
I'm in airplane mode. Used WiFi then turned off the WiFi and screen. Seems like an app must be freaking out and chewing up CPU cycles. Turn off the device for a bit and it is still hot for a little while, eventually starts cooling down though.
Kind of crazy...
Traveling without a local SIM, hence airplane mode toggling WiFi on/off. Too hard to recall what apps I was in/out of...
If I had root, could probably figure it out.......
That has happened to me once. I just turned it off and back one completely. And it was back to business as usual. Must be some bug.
