CM 10.2 for Canadian Optimus G (E973/E971)

sucsss · Mar 24, 2013

Well, I basically formatted everything and flashed from a blank phone. This fixed the random reboot issues, but I've noticed another thing. Once my phone goes to 10% or below in battery life, the phone will freeze and stay frozen after the screen turns black.
It's not instant. The screen has to stay black for a few seconds and then it won't respond.

Yes it seems to be a common problem, funny enough, just hold the power button for 15 seconds to make sure its completely powered off.
Then just let the phone sit for 30 minutes or so (I know it sounds ridiculous but this has been mentioned in this thread before).
Then try turning it on, it will most likely boot up.
If it doesn't you will likely have to kdz to get back up and running.
Good luck!

Thank you for the suggestions, it is a relief to know that this is actually a common problem with workarounds. The above technique I had tried as well, including leaving it over night without success although the solution that ended up working for me was to unplug the battery and plug it back in otherwise no method seemed to work for me.

I read somewhere that for the Bell variant E97310E firmware is required when flashing to any 4.2.2 rom.. would it make a difference if I was able to upgrade from E97310F? or is it necessary to downgrade back to E then re-install? As for updating the modem baseband, can I use the Rogers E970xxx firmware if I use it with Fido?

Thanks everyone

Using a Rogers modem with Fido is fine since they are essentially the same company (Rogers owns Fido and they should have the same towers and operate on the same frequencies)...that being said, it's the E971 that you'll want to use if you're looking for Rogers' version.

I've had the same lock up a couple times. I've just been taking off the back and disconnecting the battery for a few seconds. Seems to work every time. Also if getting the massive battery drain bug if you just hold power down for about 20 seconds while the phone is on ( can be booting or even on the battery charge screen ) then turn it back on it seems to read the battery correctly again. Hopefully this helps.

O and I forgot to mention it does seem to be linked to clock speed. When running @ 1512 antutu had no issue. @ 16 and 17 it locked the phone needing battery pull, and at 18+ antutu just closed back to home screen.

hehe yes thats what I mean 971.. is there a special way of flashing the modem firmware? I downloaded the rogers version, flashed it, cleaned dalvik just incase and rebooted. It now displayed Fido on the lock screen, gets signal, I can send/receive texts, receive calls with much better voice quality although when I want to place a call it immediately says call ended once I hit dial, then a few moments later the call resumes in the background.. I tried to clear the phone apk cache/data and rebooted but that doesn't seem to resolve that.

Another thing I just noticed today even though I flashed the latest gapps with the photosphere, the option in the camera doesn't appear, i tried re-installing gapps but that didn't change.. any thoughts?

The call thing is a known issue. Last I check they were not sure if it's cm related or build related. For photosphere to work you need to edit your build.prop. There is info in the thread somewhere about it, I don't have time to check. Need to make make ur phone thing it is a nexus 4.

Ok, sorry if i havn't updated on time this weekend, i was very busy.

I removed OC from newest build, since there was no significative gain and that phone is still fast enough. Newest build has latest CM changes merged as usual. I am currently looking at FM and trying to figure out if we have it in our phone. Saw a few post saying the module we have does support FM, the thing is to know if the fm pin is grounded or is actually connected to the antenna. We'll see it soon enough.

Edit: Forgot to add that i uploaded My Gapps with photosphere for our device.

Everything appears to be working properly. I haven't had a crash or lockup in quite awhile now. Do you expect this build will get to become official CM soon?

I had a SOD and one time my screen got black while i knew the phone was awake as i could access it with adb. I will keep testing. Also, the fact that Antutu gave me so much problem is not a good thing to go public.

Edit : We don't have FM radio in our phone. Would ave been nice

rgr that. I haven't tried bench marking and have had zero issues in about a week now. I will let you know if anything changes, it's been wonderful to have a reliable blazing fast phone. Thanks again for all the hard work.

Does antutu do nasty things with just a plain vanilla kernel?

Re: CM 10.1 for Canadian Optimus G

Thats probably a noob question and assuming its not written in the installation guide I am not supposed to do this, but

I just wanted to be sure, Do I need to do a ''Wipe data, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache?
and if not in what circumstances you need to do it or not ?

Thanks for your patience

If you are coming from any other ROM you will need to wipe data, cache and dalvik. If you are upgrading from a previous version of CM10 you can just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Oh and i have another question,

do i need to format system in ''storage and mounts'' too ?
and do I need to flash the JB modem before last factory reset or I can flash it afterwards without problems?
And also does the custom kernel comes with it? or I should flash another one? like houstonn's kernel ? is it this file ? : ca.geeb.houstonn.sk8er.INTL.jb.02.zip
and If i understand well TWRP v2.3.2.3 should do as good as JDQ39 bootloader to flash this?

If my questions are too noob where is the most efficient place i can ask them ?

Thanks alot again !! very very appreciated

You can always ask ROM related questions in that ROM thread. If you have just ordinary questions that are general in nature, as in they could apply to any rom or other people's situations, go ahead and put them in the Q&A, help, troubleshooting forum.
