no need for this.
Go to Settings, then Buttons, and there you have it, after options for search key.

SD problem

I have cm11.0-20140627. (I installed the latest version but the phone kept rebooting, so I reinstalled the 27/06 version).
The problem I have is that the phone keeps removing the SD card when it wakes up or when it turns on. Therefore, I have to open the lid, remove the SD card and place it again in the phone. Is this a common bug?
I've tried to format the SD but the problem still remains.

Perhaps it's related to the Wi-Fi. Can you try turning off Wi-Fi, and making sure it does not enable itself for location scanning. Also, if this happens, I'd like logs (the app is on my thread which you can use to get the logs).

The Wifi isn' t enabled for location scanning and the problem occurs also when the wifi is turned off.
you mentioned something about logs. Do you mean the "data.txt" file?
I guess it doesn't have personal data in it, does it?

If not, I'm sending it right away!

I promised this to someone some time ago, but never implemented it. Actually today's release is a bit experimental on some sides, so if there are issues I will do another one soon, with the swappable storage patch. Things like this (swappable storage) are really useful features, but they break CM's policies and that's why they don't merge this stuff. I will add it to my own builds from now on though .

Yes, the data.txt would be useful. The log could contain sensitive information though, you can check it for any potential usernames, serial numbers and mac addresses. If you want you can also send it to me as a PM, if you're ok with that.

I actually had a similar issue a long time ago, but my SD card was dying and one day the Wi-Fi would not turn on anymore (the Wi-Fi bus and SD card bus are using the same driver, which got confused). You mentioned you were using the 06/28 release, the issue is not present there?

Here's the data.txt.
View attachment data.7z
The issue is present with the 28/06 version, I just had problem with the new ones (the phone kept rebooting with the 07/09 version).

When you have the time to check it, keep in mind that there could be a connection between my problem and wifi tethering ( I think this problem started when I first used wifi tethering).

From the log I can see it fails on resume, possibly because in my ROM the SD card power is turned off and for some reason it fails to react after power is turned on again.

In stock Huawei ROMs they did not do that, which increases power consumption too (in some cases some users reported that without the SD card they'd get double the battery). So I enabled it in my ROM (it's actually enabled by default in Qualcomm development boards too).

I will debug this problem, perhaps it needs a delay when resuming.
Btw, if you have installed the last version, do you still get reboots?

I will install it today. Just to make it clear, is it better to wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing the new rom, after the installation or can I just install it without wiping anything?

After edit:
I installed it without wiping anything. No reboots, it is functional (~1.5 hour).
I will come back with any news. Thanks!!

Does the phone vibrate when you press it? And other buttons (especially back) works?
I haven't had the issue myself, so I don't really know what to fix.

The phone does vibrate when I press menu but not work.so I reflash the rom .and it works .but after sometime it is not work again

 

[johnnysancs]

I think it is due to software conflics.
Will you add cm11's double tap weak to u8800?

 

[tsioy]

Hi Blefish!
The problem with the SD card has reappeared. Now I have the 28/10 version and besides this problem, everything is fine.

 

[ogrenci01]

I have a bug..

Hi Blefish. I have a bug in latest build (cm11-2014-10-28).

"Import/Export from SIM Card" doesn't work on "Contacts" and I can not import/export contacts from SIM card. This is working previous version.

Thanks. It is great work. A lot thanks.

More RAM?

"For more RAM: Settings->Performance->Memory management."

I can't find "Performance" on the general settings "menu/app".
Is there another "Settings" menu/app?

I think you need to enable Developer options first. Settings->About. Tap the build number 7 times to enable Performance options. Oh, make sure you do not enable KSM, as it breaks camera after using it for some time (only reboot helps). I will remove KSM option in next release.

Thanks!
Found it Wasn't aware of this
Yes, I saw the issue with KSM, not going to enable!

By the way, I found some issues with the ROM, don't know if this is the right place but can't post anywhere else lol

1- Camera doesn't work withou SD card in slot. Crashes. (It should use internal memory in that case shouldn't it?)
2- Sometimes can't turn location (GPS?) completely off, either thru the status bar menu or thru the power widget. Have to go to Settings->Personal->Location and turn it off.
3- Still haven't fully charged with the wall charger (only with USB port from laptop) but seems to drain the battery a lot! Before could last 4 days (oxygen ROM on 2.3.x) but only during the night lost about 60% charge.


Thanks for the great work!
Having Bluetooth working is a major plus

Edit: Sorry, using 20140907...wrong zip file... my mistake!
