Are there any UK Desire Z owners out there who are successfully running Cyanogenmod 7? I'm running v7.0.3 and it keeps rebooting spontaneously.
???
I have ran CM7 with no problems other as an issue (actually a "feature") with wifi not working with the screen off,
You could try nightlys if you are set on CM7, in fact I think there is a new stable version coming out soon.
Do you overclock?
I have the Canadian version and in the US (if that helps) and have ran Cyanogen 7.0.3, 7.1.0 RC1 and all the nightlies without reboots..
You should try re-downloading and re-flashing to see if that fixes your problem.
I'm currently trying Virtuous G-Lite to see if it helps. So far so good after 7 hours (i.e. no reboots).
I've also noticed that I can now get access to data roaming services (I'm away in Portugal). With CM7 I was unable to access the local GPRS service. Does this maybe suggest a compatibility issue between CM7 any my radio?
May I ask which radio version you are running bombadier?

I've been using MIUI for the last 2 days, and Virtuous G-Lite for a day before that, and have had no recurrence of the rebooting problems that I had with CM7. I guess there was a compatibility problem with CM7 and the DZ

You probably just had a bad flash. There are thousands of people in the UK using CM7 on their DZ

Sure you don't have any other settings that would contradict that? That's the only system wide setting to make Wi-Fi stay on when the screen is off. Are you using a different kernel than stock by chance?

Interesting. Seen some complaints in the Nightly thread but I personally have never had the issue.
Definitely not kernel/setting related, a fresh flash of any flavour of CM 7,broken out of the box,which is a shame as I really like it.
When you say you have never had the issue,is that because you have never tried to stream anything with the screen off ?or that that wifi sleep policy actually works?

My Wi-Fi sleep policy works fine. My battery status page shows my Wi-Fi is on 100% of the time, even when the phone isn't awake and the screen is off.

Yeah but does it actually stay on? A good way to test is to try streaming internet radio,I am still connected but after a couple of minutes playback becomes choppy,phone still claims to be connected.

Ok then I am at a lose to explain this then,could you run a logcat when you are streaming and send it to me? Would like to see how your output differs to mine.
Downclocking.

The Fact That The Radio Continues To Play Means You're Still Connected.
The "Choppiness" Will Be Due To The CPU Down-clocking While The Screen Is Off.
I'm A UK User Running CM7 And All Is Well. WiFi Sleep Policy Is Set To Never And I Always Receive E-Mail Notifications On My Phone Before My PC Notices So It Does Work! I'm Running One Of The Newest Nightly Builds.
Try Running SetCPU And Setting Up A Screen Off Profile To Up The Clock-speed Above Standard As It Goes Very Low When The Screen Is Off.
This Will Impact Your Battery Life But If You Find The Minimum Frequency Required To Eliminate The Choppy Playback You Can Live With It.

Just to clarify my problem once more, doing anything over wifi with screen on is fine,streaming, uploading to dropbox,etc but after a couple of minutes with the screen off my transfer rate crashes,the wifi is going onto a power save as I am still connected(wifi connected icon still there), CM7 is the only ROM that I have this problem with,I use Unity and with screen off there are no problems,dont see how underclocking affects this as on Unity my screen off clock is 245Mz. I know you use the example of email notification,have you tried uploading files with screen off or streaming?
If that works then could you please send me a copy of your logcat to compare to my output?
I tried it no problems. But i prefer htc sense with android 2.2.
If ive was to choose a different rom apart from sense stock roms then it has to be miui.
Its fast and ui is superb.
is there a list of known apps that cause the sleep of death?
i'm using the 7/30/12 mirage kang. the fresh install doesn't have SOD problems but after i restore my apps, if i let the screen go dark for ten minutes while wifi is running, i'm pretty much guaranteed SOD.

That *is* the SOD. It's not caused by an app so much as meeting those conditions. For a quick fix set wifi to turn off when the screen turns off. Search is your friend for more info/fixes.

Like MISRy said, it is not a specific app causing it. It is the fact that you leave wifi on with the screen off. And not just specifically screen off, but in deep sleep. But it is not consistent and not everyone gets it. Some of the devs could never make it happen. Usually it is when wifi is on with screen off and an app is using it that is the problem. So if wifi is on and being used, and at the moment you try to turn it on it is in deep sleep, bingo SOD. As I said in the other thread, look at my tips.

No, the kernel and wifi kernel module are two different things. The wifi kernel module has to be matched to the kernel (it is a kernel module), but is a separate piece of software. It is in /system/lib/modules/twlan_drv.ko. No SOD patches have been used in any stock CM7 kernels or modules. I think Mrg666 uses a patched kernel for his Mirage build and sometimes it is enough, but SOD does not really stop until the patched module is used.

no SOD yet. awesome!
Can u set wifi to go off in settings somewhere or do u need an app like green power? I only ask because that was what I did but after awhile, it won't let the wifi come on at all until I remove the app and reboot

Yes there is a setting. Go to wifi networks and select menu and advanced. There should be a wifi sleep policy setting.
I think there is no specific app which causes SOD
Dear all my friends who facing the SOD Sleep of Death issue with their Android devices...
i found that it is totally related to Wifi Sleep policy related... i just changed the setting last night n now after 8 hours it is running absolutely without SOD... i will also be inform u later if i will get my device out of SOD issue... all of u just have to do one thing.
Go to settings>wifi settings>
from the options go to advanced settings
there is one option: Keep wi-fi on during sleep (go to this option)
there is 3 options: 1. Always, 2. Only when plugged in, 3. Never (increases data usage)
u just have to change ur option from 1 to 2 or 3, then i hope u will find that u will get ur device out of SOD issue...
Regards,
Nauman

Is there any tweak or tips fromyou guys?I hate when I download a big file and when it is on the half way suddenly the wifi disconnected. Thanks in advance.
make sure wifi is set to never sleep in wifi advanced settings
Also, it might help if you put it in best performance mode, that will probably drain your battery a little more but it might help your issue.

1. Reboot daily, and do it when the phone is fully charged AND STILL ON THE CHARGER! Let it sit on the charger for a good five minutes so it goes through the whole boot process without taking any battery usage.
2. find the best (lowest) screen brightness you can live with and set that as your fixed screen brightness. Using Auto-brightness is NOT a good battery saver.
3. Active Apps Manager. I also put this right on the front screen. It's a little number inside a circle. The number is for how many apps are currently running in your phone's memory. The circle around the number turns colors from green to orange to red. If it's red then at least one of your running apps is using the cpu and therefore battery. If it's green then the apps are idle and not using much battery. You can press the button and it will show you what apps are open and what percentage of cpu is being used.
This little widget is invaluable in telling you which apps are notorious for using the cpu (and battery) even though you are not actively using them. It helps you understand which apps you need to kill off each time you use them. For instance I have found that almost all my news apps that have notifications activated will continued to run and eat battery. Also, my chess app, Chess.com. So now I just know to kill them off after I'm done using them.
4. Turn off wifi, bluetooth, gps, 4G, syncing and don't use any live wallpapers.
5. Enable Developer Options and check 'disable hardware overlays' and then 'enable MSAA' (automatically turned off on reboot)
Whats the point in having WiFi, Bluetooth, 4G if you're suggesting to turn it off?? Might want to think that part over again buddy lol

No it really doesnt....how can it possibly use power when its not doing anything? With 4G and wifi on....i could easily get 2 days usage out of my device.

ok, i don't know about this.
Hello all guys,
I am often using the phone (not yet OPT as I still don't own one) with Waze and I am wondering if this can cause it to go to high temperatures.
Do you have experience to share?
Zeno
do you have any issue geeting gps fix/lock while using mobile data in (WCDMA/LTE) ?
i am running oxygen os 2.1.0. i have this issue.
Hi,
as soon as I'll have the phone delivered I'll let you know. I am using quite often maps so I hope I will not have the problem you mention.
Regards,
Zeno
Nope, it doesn't heat up exaggeratedly. The temperature is around 45° just like OPO. I had been using it for 45min and that was the final temperature.
2nd is i using it under direct sunlight in my car for roughly 40min. The temperature is 50°. I would say its normal for me

Hi,
thank you very much for your feedback!
It seems so that the temperatures are ok then
I am looking forward to have my phone at home
Zeno
Just a reminder, screen brightness has somethings to do with the temperature :/ so i wont recommend the 2nd option paired with high brightness.
