Quarx' CM11 latest: Phone Problem needs reboot

[St0fF]

Since 20140415 nightly update (installed via CMupdater) I'm experiencing the Phone Problem. The translated German text would be
"there was a problem with your phone's modem, the device needs to be rebooted..."

I've had those before, but to a small extend. Now it's more like: it takes around 30 Minutes from reboot until the "Problem" reappears.

I'm sorry, I cannot post to the dev-thread, yet. If any logs are needed, I'd update back to 20140415 or 20140416 (where this also happened) and try to grab'em.

EDIT: it might be important information: I've come from the "full" nightly "11-20140407-NIGHTLY_mb526", then used cmUpdater on the 14th, the 15th and the 16th April (so: the last three days), at least that are the files present in my /sdcard/cmupdater folder. The problem has appeared yesterday.

Question: if I do incrementals, will I have to update every day?

oops - it seems not to be the ROM I guess

As I didn't have those problems with 20140407, I downgraded to that version. Seems it didn't have an effect - just about half an hour after downgrade, I had the "Problem", again.

I'll reboot once and if the "Problem" reappears at the same rate, I'll do a full-wipe reinstall.

It is a hardware problem of the Defy, it will go away with time.

I'm having this since 3 days and I'm barely reachable because of that - what are the experiences, how long may it take until this goes away?

For me, the system stabilises after 36 hrs of uptime.

Defy / temporary failure

That sounds really weird! After it stabilizes - when does the problem return? Any idea what caused this effect?

It doesn't return. Hence I said the system stabilizes.

Try to flash new modem.Latest or just different.Try BasesbandSwitcher .I Had simillar problems with CM10 and I dont know how exactly i solved it - flashing,switching,trying...Some says that CM ROMs dont change the modem because it have no modem in CM ROMs.

That's the infamous RIL bug. Try disabling and re-enabling location. Doesn't make much sense, but fixed it for me.

That's what fixed it for me: I reflashed to factory, then installed cm10/cm11 freshly.

Thanks for that information - I'll try to remember next time I get banged by this.

i just thought about perhaps creating another thread that may be made sticky, collecting all possible reasons, explanations and most likely workarounds for the RIL Bug - and I found this answer:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50830467&postcount=5

It says undervolting might be a factor. My Defy is undervolted. So I'll try to figure out some less extreme settings, as RIL just reappeared on my phone.

P.S.: I couldn't find that post originally, as at that time I wasn't aware of the bug's name - searching for "RIL bug" in fact returns a lot of results.

that's the only thing which helped me too. many rom's worked okay for me and had no RIL reboots ever, but when i've tried to use them again instead of newer ones i tried - i got constant reboots. reflashed to factory and no more ril's again.
