Had zero of these issues on 157. On nightlies lately my battery life has been better than ever but I think this is largely due to not charging so much and only charging when I get down to 1%. There's something else going on with your Shift, I ran 157 on stock kernel with the max to 1.5ghz and had no overheating at all.

Bars don't really mean anything, check your dBm. And Sprint's network is all sorts of inconsistant, chances are much higher that it's a Sprint issue rather than CM7.

(And of course Gmail syncs just fine for me)

Don't use bluetooth so can't verify that issue.

I had the gmail issue a few nightlies back (2 weeks or so), and tried everything (clearing then cache, data, etc.). Eventually I found I had to remove and reattach my google mail account. After doing so it has worked perfectly, with no issues.
[EVO Shift 4G General] grandebob:
I did try re-adding the gmail accounts, but with the same results. I'm going to try a complete data wipe when I get a chance and setup everything all over again. I haven't ever had a problem like this before when going from one nightly to another, but I don't think I've had such a large gap of nightlies to cover.

I did clear cache and dalvik, even tried re-clearing them after I started experiencing these weird issues.

thanks for the input, I'll be sure and let you know what happens after I do a full wipe.

Anyone have any experience with build 162 or above? 162 seems to have positive comments left on Rom manager, but I'm used to getting much more detailed feedback from here.

Thx.

Well, I'm using 163 with pershoot v7... Only 2 issues I have is that I cannot use google navigation, maps FC whenever I try to use navigation... And I he 4G icon but that isn't new, neither of them are. WiFi works perfect, bluetooth works, i get so so battery life. I've never gotten perfect life... For example I left my house at 930 with a full charge, now 10:30 and im at like 20% lol... I've been listening to music, i played with my clock speed, sent a few texts, did a few market Downloads. Used google+. Played a storm 8 game... But anyway, umm, unsure what else to say, everything works on this rom fine

I think you're not seeing much about >162 here as there aren't really any changes that'd affect the Shift. I'm still on 160 with stock kernel w/max set to 1.5ghz and everything works great. My battery life has been pretty good, 9hrs if I use it heavily and am not on wifi and 16hrs+ if on wifi. More if I don't use the phone much.

Has anyone else been suffering massive battery drains when they connect a bluetooth headset? I noticed while driving while hooked up to the car charger in car mode I started losing battery life which isn't normal for me. I've tried disabling the data while driving to conserve and it still drained. It wasn't until I disconnected my headset that it started to charge again as normal. Its been doing this since the last kernel update. Currently on the latest nightly and stock kernel.

Ps. Its illegal in my state to be talking on the phone without a hands free setup while driving and considering I drive a manual I kinda need my bt headset.

sprint voicemail? Anyone with experiences running a nightly? I used TB to backup the voicemail before I installed CM7, and I did a restore. It restored all my voicemails and the app which I thought was awesome..but everytime I click on a voicemail or leave a new one, it says "Unable to play message"

Also, what's the concensus on a keyboard other than the one integrated with CM7? Does the HTC sense keyboard work, and if so where can I get the apk? any other suggestions? I hate the fact that the buttons are so small, etc on this stock keyboard.
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
OK, first the keyboard, to me that's a tough one.. I'm sure someone else knows more... But welcome to the shift and small screen size... Ummm, i personally use SwiftKey and i wouldn't use anything else.. I love it.. I also have used and have the nexus s swype. It isn't bad, but i still prefer SwiftKey. Ummm, as far as voicemail... I believe I read somewhere once about using the deck vvm app... But i don't know, i personally use YouMail and it works fine for me.. But if you do get a working copy of the sprint vvm, mind pming that thing to me? Lol. Hope something was helpful. I idk

I generally prefer the HW KB but use Swype Beta if I have to type one-handed. I've heard good things about Hacker's Keyboard though. I believe you can resize the keys to your liking.

For voicemail I've always used Google Voice. It's nice not having to worry about restoring VMs or losing VMs, just log into your Google account and they're all there. Plus, I don't like listening to the messages so it's nice to be able to just skim the transcript and decide if it's something important.

Just switched to CM7, whats up with mms picture mail? I just got sent one, and it's got the download button..when I hit it.., just sayings downloading, and doesnt come through.

Please tell me CM7 supports picture mail... ugh
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
It does, if your in stock messaging app you need a 3G connection and an uninterrupted one, if you drop to 1x speeds it'll hang. I don't know why... Or use handcent, and enable the default app setting, it will allow upload/download over 4G. And It does work for me. I know this because I send and receive mms while on the phone. Meaning no 3G connected at all!

My signal never drops to 1x...I have good 3g signal, no 4g, but it's not needed. I did an nandroid restore back to CM7 original without pershoots kernel and it still happens. Running the nightly from two nights ago.

I refuse to use handcent
[EVO Shift 4G General] chugger93:
Decided to try flashing the cm_speedy_full-165.zip , from 8-18 and still no sending of mms or receiving.

Looks like I'm going back to sense I guess. Either that or try wiping again and reflashing the nightly. jeeeeez
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
It does not. Tried it with 3g/4g and wifi, can't download mms at all since 97, and I can't use handcent. We need a dev to look into fixing mms so it works properly.

For keyboard I use flext9, its decent and I'm happy with it (I got both flext9 and swiftkey pro free from the amazon appstore.)

Jed and ALL;

I just got my MMS working finally! Phew. What I did was grab the latest nightly from last night....then I wiped factory reset through recovery twice. Then wiped my cache, then wiped davlik, then wiped factory reeset another 2 times, then I may have wiped cache or davlik again.

Then I flashed the nightly, BUT not the gapps. rebooted..and tested MMS send/receive. BOTH WORKED. Then I booted back into recovery and flashed Gapps..and now I'm resetting up my phone and apps.

I hope this works for everyone else with issues...
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
i hate doing factory wipes....oh well, good thing im at work....
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
k, this is driving me nuts. i flashed to #172, did a full titanium and nandroid backup and went whole hog on the factory resets. full restore, flashed the newest radios and the v7 kernel, whilst wiping my dalek cache at random intervals. now, it seems for no apparent reasons and at the most annoying times, my phone locks up - freezes up completely. sliding the keyboard, hitting the screen switch all do nothing. i have to pull the battery and restart - happened at least twice since i ran the update

Ideas?
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
Perhaps your (kernel) clock speed is too high. Dumb it down a bit and see how that goes...

[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
I've had that issue a couple times going from 160 to 172. I did have the max clocked at 1.5 but didn't have any problems that high on 160. I've had on 1.2 for a few hours now and haven't experianced any yet but it was kinda random. I think it only happened maybe 3 times in 2 days. I feel like it was when I was doing something on the phone and also received a call or text at the same time.

[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
it happened to me a couple times when i was fiddling with the settings. I dropped my clock to 12 and set to 'conservative' (smartass. *snicker*) and no freezeups in the last hour. might do another round of dalek cache wipes and another reboot, just to make sure it doesnt get sick or anything

edit: im also running the v7 kernel. lets see how it works after this hurricane pounds long island....

Your factory resetting and wiping before you flash right? Also, once you do this order of operations, test mms/sms before you even do a titanium....

Okay, update. After restoring apps and Browser and ADW data with Titanium and setting performance settings back to what I always used before, I got reboots too. Tried every combination of cache/dalvik clearing and rebooting, etc I could think of but could not get them to stop. Formatted /system and did factory reset in TWRP. Reflashed 178 and everything has been good thus far. Have been manually redownloading my apps and trying to not restore anything with Titanium. So far so good *fingers crossed* Will report back if I have any more problems.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
I think that restoring settings and system software from titanium backups can cause problems. Best to do that manually and carefully - I've run into that sort of problem many times before.

Right now I'm running 172 on a clean install, and quite frequently I run into freezing errors - the screen just freezes up and I have to pull the battery and restart. When I first ran this install (after updating radios and flashing the V7 kernels) I did the mandatory 3 rounds of cache clearing and dalek cache wiping.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CrashV2010:
if nothing else do the fix permissions in cw.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Over the last 2 days I've done several wipes and fresh installs and I seem to have finally narrowed down what was causing my reboots. In Titanium Backup if I've got the "Restore Backups to..." option set to "Original Location" then everything restores fine but after a reboot the soft resets start and won't stop until I do a fresh wipe. If I have it set to "Default Location" and manually move apps to SD then it's all good. I did again restore data from ADW and Browser with no problems.

I want to say, I face similar 4G issues bit its more I have hideously slow 4G speeds that just aren't there on other AOSP roms, and i would love love love love to know now how to resize these partitions.
[EVO Shift 4G General] c00ller:
Someone in the CM community named Firerat created a flashable script to set your own partition size of /system, and binds /cache to /data, thereby giving /data all the extra space that /system isn't using, and /cache only uses the amount it needs with no wasted allocation. Here it is for the Hero CDMA, but hopefully from there you might be able to find out if it works for the Shift

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754805

Note: it's an old thread and this script was primarily made for older devices for obvious reasons
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
this is almost impossible with the newer nand emmc memory that the shift and newer htc devices use.

the partition sizes are chosen by the manufacturer, in this case HTC, to fit their bloated sense stuff on.

Never, change the radio (1.07.00.1129), I've somewhere mentioned the radio may affect the camera.

We are having a family event this weekend, and need to take photos..please help!
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
I'm not sure if x99's AOSP kernel has been updated in a while.. maybe try the stock kernel or another one. I'm using Tiamat and camera works fine. You could also try the MIUI camera for CM7 which I believe is posted in Development. It's what I use and is much nicer than stock. If none of those things work then try taking your finger off the lens ;)

ALL HAIL OTAKING71, THE RAPER OF HBOOT!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
The x99 kernel is a 2.2 kernel. I bet that's the problem right there. Try upgrading the radio (you could always downgrade) and flashing either Tiamat or PershootV8. Both great 2.3.5 kernels which nightly 179 is 2.3.5. My set up right now is 179 with PershootV8 and i have no issues. But the dev even says in kernel manager, he recommends updating the radio.. Hope that helps... There is a guide on the development forum for for updating radios. It's really super easy.

Many thanks, no wonder after I reflash the rom w/o the kernel, things seem work fine. If I don't upgrade the radio, I could just go with the V8 kernel, right?

BTW,what are the benefits with the radio upgrade?

Learn somethings new everyday.. specially from here.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Not much difference between the radios. Some have noticed performance/network stability improvements but I haven't. I think it depends where you live, either way you should probably flash the latest radios.
