so there are times it seems that the android shell dies and automatically restarts itself, (i.e goes back to the xdandroid logo flashing bakc and forth until I can run stuff again).
When this happens, phone works fine, but no data seems to be transferred (all apps timeout), even though it gives tha appearance as if its connected to data (and occasionally see the upload arrow get highlighted, but never the download arrow).
any ideas?

you check force cdma in the startup?
of course, check what i wrote, even after it stops working with data, it still works as a phone.
CDMA phones don't have a very complete RIL. I think I heard GSM's RIL was 800k and ours was about 50k - so we're missing some stuff. Unless some guru ends up with a CDMA device, I don't see our RIL getting fixed - ever.
I have similar issues on T-Mobile TP2, sometimes it reboots for no reason, or sometimes its stuck on black screen.
I should note, that my issue isn't that it restarts the shell (that is an issue, but I've seen that on all phones), it's that it seems to mess up the ip connectivity when that happens.

Tilt 2 also
So lately I have been having problems with my Epic. I was previously running Nebula rom, but it would always restart randomly and one time it would restart endlessly until I took it home and returned it to stock. I tried Nebula 1.0.7 again but same quirky problem. Now Iv been running the latest release of the ViperRom, but today it did the same restart thing, where all of the sudden the booting animation would come up and my phone would be restarted.
And now my messages have been acting funny. I run Handcent as my SMS app. I noticed the message pop ups would get to my phone, and then in 10 or so seconds it would vibrate and the app would recognize it had a message. Sometimes i could send a message through the pop-up and then when I went into the main part of Handcent, my message would be sent before the message i replied to, And sending messages takes forever now. I seem to be able to remedy this for a short time by going into CWM and fixing permissions, but its a very temporary fix.
Sorry for the long read, but this is making me mad. Any input is appreciated.
If this is in the wrong section, just let me know and Ill move it.
Some others, including myself, have reported similar problems when upgrading to EB13. For me, about 30 minutes into the phone being on, my cpu load would jump to 100% load (check yours with an app such as Process Monitor Widget). When my cpu was at 100%, the phone itself would run fine, but it seemed as if priority was given to everything BUT data apps such as the browser and GO SMS (the messenger app I use). I got the same popup/message problems and sending messages sometimes took minutes.
If you're in the browser, type in a website, and it hangs, hit home and then go back into the browser. I found that the data transfer would kick in and load my webpage after going back into the browser. In my case this worked only when I hit home to exit the browser, rather than hitting back to close the browser.
Let me know if any of this information helps. And if you are having a similar issue, this thread may help a bit.
midNight 4.1
I have been running midNight ROM 4.1 EB13 w/EXT4.
I have no issues at all and overall this ROM series has been rock solid. I tried a couple and read for weeks before settling in on that 1 ROM.
It is super easy to get up and running with it.
Just my 2 cents <grin>
Hi,
First post, feels like I'm a little late to the party. I have a gio which initially had gingerbread 2.3.3. The phone is unlocked, and rooted, and has the clock work mod recovery patch on it. I have tried a couple of different versions of gingerbread, and am now running ice cream sandwich: kernel 2.6.35-7-galaxyics, CyanogenMod version build 9-20120610-UNOFFICIAL-gio, build number IMM76L.
Firmware-wise, it's mostly good, but I'm having a couple of weird issues:
1. The screen goes black on me periodically, and won't come back without pushing the on/off button. This is happening every 30 to 60 seconds of use.
2. The wifi crashes, a lot. With the older gingerbread I would get the word "error" under wifi in settings, and couldn't turn it back on. I would enter *#*#526#*#* to bring it back, but every 5 minutes seems a little excessive.
With the newer ICS, I've noticed I can play on a wifi link all day long without issue, but as soon as I set the phone down for a couple of minutes, wifi stops working. If I go into settings, wifi is on, but there's no connection. If I turn wifi off and back on, it comes back to life.
I guess, I'm wondering if these indicate more of a hardware issue than a software issue. It's hard to ask for support from my carrier, given I'm using an unlocked phone bought from a 3rd party, and have no contract.

I got that problem to sometime ,
And welcome !
send from my galaxy gio with paranoidAndroid Rom
Errors that you describe has a lot of people
The team is now working on ICS AOSP so be patient wait a little meringue as soon
And yet you propose to install something else that any CM
In total there is this quite a bit
update
A couple of things I've noticed:
1. The resetting wifi problem does not happen when the phone is plugged into USB.
2. The screen turning off happens frequently, but about 1/2 of the time, the screen will turn off for 1-2 seconds, then come back on at full brightness; the rest of the time, it will not come back on at all, but still responds to being tapped. The only way to get it back is to push the on/off button on the side twice, but then the screen is locked, and has to be swiped to unlock.
I have picked up a second phone, a 5660M running stock gingerbread 2.3.4, unlocked and rooted; not experiencing either of the two above issues (and the camera preview works). If I could take the 5660 back to stock at this point, I would prefer that, as the phone is not usable with these problems. Is there a stock rom available for this phone somewhere?
update part II
Hmm, after the phone showed up with 2.3.3 claiming to be a gt-s5660, and was sold as such, I finally put 1 & 1 together. I checked under the battery, it's a gt-s5660m. That explains probably all of the problems I've been having. Pity there's no ICS build for the M version of the phone.
You can use cm9 ics on your M model, it only changes your device id to gt-s5660, just dont flash roms with ODIN except roms for the M model.
Flashing from recovery wont install a baseband, with ODIN it mostly does, so the only roms you cant flash are old roms that still need odin like gioprio.
Flashable .zips are fine, all of them

The wifi problem might be hardware, m8
I don't know, as my gio has some strange problems as well and I've had ICS, Adrenaline ROMs, everything, and the problems still persist. At least they're not really bad to handle in everyday use but still, they're annoying.
Go to wifi settings - advanced - sleep policy- never

update part III
Since going back to GINGERBREAD.MUGKG3 / 2.3.4 for the GT-S5660M, the wifi crashing and screen blanking behaviours have completely stopped. After two days of running, wifi has not shut-off unexpectedly even once, and the screen does not blank any more at all.
The gps works now; it was not before. It used to sit for up to an hour under a clear open sky, day or night, and never acquire a single satellite. Now it picks them up within 30-60 seconds, though a full lock does take a couple of minutes.
The phone previously always indicated it was roaming, and would frequently refuse to send texts or make calls. I would get full bars for signal strength, but no connectivity.
I even got hold of the fm radio app, which was not included with the M version of the 5660, and manually installed it (phone must be rooted, and file system must be mounted read/write). It works too; a nice bonus.
The camera works, but is a bit flaky, requiring an occasional restart to get it going.
Probably the biggest headache, after flashing back to the 5660M version, was that the phone locked itself again, and wouldn't work on my network. I dumped bml5 page and searched out the unlock code. I had some trouble with this. The search string to get close to the code is supposed to be a sequence of twenty 0x00 bytes, one 0x05 byte, and fourteen 0xff bytes. The 0xff bytes weren't there, and it took a while for me to clue in that if I searched on the twenty 0x00, and single 0x05 byte sequence, I could still pull it out. I got it, and wrote it down in case this happens again.
sms issue
Still ticking along with the GT-S5660M; mostly it's all working nicely. I have one question though: I recently ran out of memory for storing SMS messages. It looks like the texting app in the phone wants to put everything on the SIM card rather than on the SD card, but there's no option for moving the default storage location for messages. Is there a simple way to do this? The phone is unlocked & rooted, but does not have the ext2 file system on it.
What's the IC? I checked under the battery to confirm mine is a Canada model, and it is.
But my IC is GT-S5660L
Model: GT-S5660M

im currenty using liteROM 0.9.0 first 3 days work fine, but after i found this problem.. can anyone help me..
+1.
My phone.android repeatedly shut down in Gingerbread. Only fix i could find was upgrading to ICS.
when arldft
Hmmm.... that is weird, i´m also using LiteRom 0.9, never had that issue, first time i flashed the custom rom i did see that message a couple of times, but no big deal just reeboot and no probs. after that though i decided to install the rom from scratch, never had an issue with it since. only problem ive had is the toggle for gps sattelites and mobile connection giving me some issues, nothing a reeboot cant resolve.
my advice would be to backup all your info & apps and start from scratch. or boot to CWM and fox permissions.
hope i helped
I had similar issues with GB. I was using the latest Osimood rom. Upon receiving a call, my phone screen would go blank (the way it normally does when switching to a call) but then it would freeze. The ringtone would not ring and after a few seconds of this, the phone would go back to the last app and the network signals would be gone. After a few more seconds, the network signals would be back. The same thing would happen if I received another call. The only fix was to reboot the phone.
The annoying part was that there would be NO way for me to tell who was calling me since I would never see their name and no entry would be made in the phone log. I didn't have any success with treating that problem. While it didn't happen very often, the few times it did would be very annoying since I'd often find out several hours later that I had missed an important call.
I've just switched to Pacman rom today in the hopes that this was a rom issue and will be gone now. Let's see.
Till yesterday i was on cm13. Everything war working pretty fine.
But suddenly my cell getting restarted again and again as soon as i launch game(clash of clans).
But afterwards i came to know that its not only for that game its happening everywhere.
Its happening like, first suddenly network bar becomes empty and a no service message come in notification.
After 5 to 10 sec network comes again, but it goes again ( at this stage,Either the cell become hang or most of the time it reboots)
all this thing is happening randomly no matter on which app.
after doing some experiment i get to know that...
- Its only happening when mobile data turned on and some incoming and outgoing is going on ( on ideal state its fine, no reboots ) ..
- Its working fine on wifi no random shutdown...no network loss (mobile data was on)
-its also working fine while on charging (Mobile data was on and wifi was off)
i thought it maybe cause of cm13 so i reverted back to 12.1 through nandorid backup.. but all the same story happening...
i think its because efs or modem issue or may be of battery.
CM 13 be BETA and not stable [email protected]
I am also back to 12.1 i have issues with wifi
