[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BothGunzUP:
I was messing with the Camera to see what would correct the resolution issue. Basically the 5M camera setting makes the resolution 2592 x 1952 which IS 5M, however when viewing the photo on the phone's screen it won't fill in the whole screen making viewing said photo appear smaller.

If you set the camera resolution to "4M Wide" it will make the resolution 2592 x 1552 which is only 4M as it says however, when viewing the photo on the phones screen it will fill up the entire screen making the photo appear as large as can be on our phones. Naturally the trade off is when viewing the photos on PC they won't be as tall as with the 5M setting.

So the choice is yours, so you want the photos to fill up the whole screen on the phone or just be bigger in general for viewing on PC, etc.

WiMAX (4G) cycles on/off

Everything on the ROM works great except 4G, I tap 4G on power control and it comes on for just a few seconds and then dumps. Any ideas?

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
Reboot your phone then.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Call sprint and complain to them that there's no 4g in your area, I don't have it where I live either :/
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] falz:
I can confirm the notification bar is fixed here as well with Go Launcher after just flashing nightly 41.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] erik.crouch:
Does not help, radio turns on and immediately turns itself back off without trying to connect.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] erik.crouch:
Hehe, I have 4G in my area or I wouldn't have posted about it. The symptom is that the radio turns on and immediately turns back off and it sort of gets stuck in a state where in settings it is checked but it's not actually doing anything. No connection attempt is made and when I watch it in settings it says "Turning On.." and then "Turning Off" and it cycles between those. On the Release Candidate it connected right up no problems so just curious if anyone had any ideas yeh?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
Might wanna try reflashing. Like Sparksco I ain't never seen 4G either but plenty that do have it report that it works.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
Well the time that my 4G wouldnt turn on i just rebooted and it was back working. When you turn it on in the settings it would say "turning on" then a few seconds later say "turning off".
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
Are you on a diff. Kernel or stock? I would try re-flashing like Jesus commands you, and see if that changes anything. I've had that issue when kernel was not fully compatible and also if you turn on airplane mode at anytime, you need to reboot to get 4g active again.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] derik123derik123:
I was having this issue for a long time. turn off 3g. turn on 4g. 4g will scan then connect.

to go back to 3g turn off 4g turn on 3g.

hope this helps.

I hate to have to say it, but the authenticator works fine for me. I'm on CM7 with the x99 kernel and I've never had a problem with it. Sorry for the lack of helpful info.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
I would try what you do for the GPS to work. Go back to a Sense Nandroid and connect to 4G and try going back to your CM7 backup and see if it works. If not try reflashing CM7 over itself and see if that does anything. Worse comes to worse you will need to start over from stratch.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ekz13:
actually that's a good thing, I was thinking it was something with GB or ASOP that was jamming up the prog, but if it does work for you, then I'll keep working on it. Did you do an fresh install of it from the market, or restore a backup?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] erik.crouch:
Will do, I was thinking that too but I figured I'd ask around first. I have such a ROM backed up on my SD for such situations :)

Thanks!

Mine's fresh off the market. I played during the last trial weekend but am going to wait to buy the game until my college classes are done.

weird, still can't get it.. oh well, guess i'll work on it when I'm not gaming, I don't get it why it won't load, i'll report back if i get it working.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] minlo:
New to android and cm but flashed today and loving it but when i make a call my screen shuts off and the only way to turn it back on is either slide the kb open or check keep screen awake in the call settings.....

Is that normal or does any1 know a fix to make the proximity sensor decide like stock would?

I also have always use proximity in the call settings to no avail....:confused:

Posted over in the RockMod section as Im on that rom currently, but here are updated instructions to getting VVM *working* with the latest 5.1.0.56 release

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13047843&postcount=37

Apks are on origional post.

*working* in this case refers to the voicemail functioning fine, however i did notice that if you check for updates in the vvm options, it tells you that it cant check right now. This isnt a huge problem as .56 is current atm.

Still having MMS issues unfortunately. The stock messenger doesn't seem to be able to download the pictures either. Oddly I was able to get one through when I sent it via the EVO 4G.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Caiaphas:
I have this problem sometime. I normally use GO SMS Pro and when I get a picture I download it from that app and then when it's complete, I go to the stock app and then it shows up. I assume you can use any other messaging app, but I've only used GO SMS.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] SilentSummer:
Go SMS Pro is the default messaging app on this phone, unfortunately it just says downloading, but never shows up.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chrscott22:
So I have a few noobish type questions concerning the "Performance settings" in CM7. I'm assuming this is where most of the battery saving settings will happen.

1) Can someone school me on the actions of the different Governors. Going thru them I'd assume conservative, and powersave would all be battery saving but how are they different?? Are they the 2 best battery saving settings??

2)Should I be using JIT if i want better battery life? I have no clue what that does

3) Cell Standby and Phone idle are hogging most of my battery when it used to be display, anything I can do to fix this??

4)any other suggestions to get better battery life?? I need battery over performance so any tips or additional apps or settings would be appreciated.

I absolutely love CM7 and will do pretty much anything to get this tweaked properly :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
Use the conservative will be your best bet, also download juice defender pro and make refresh times for apps much longer.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] c00ller:
1) Official information on governors:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/cm-k...m-2.6.37/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt

Smartass is the most "advanced" one and should offer the best performance/battery life trade-off. But, YMMV of course.

2) JIT should not affect battery life. Leave it enabled, there is no reason really not to on newer hardware like the Shift.

3) Nothing you can really do (or should do) about it. It's actually not a concern at all. It would be more of a concern if OTHER things were top battery consumers.

Edit: do click on "Cell Standby" and check if there is a "Time without signal" %. If that % is high, look into finding out how to change your network to CDMA auto prl. If it's 0% or you don't see an entry for it, you have nothing to worry about.

4) IMO governor has one of the biggest impacts on battery life.

Another is widgets, particularly the constantly updating widgets like news, weather, facebook, etc... things that constantly feed from internet data all the time. Keep them at minimum.

Disable automatic screen brightness and keep it on the lower side, but bright enough for your liking, of course.

I have read that if you have Wifi, it will use less battery than 3G (idea being your phone can stay connected to something in your household more easily than a cell tower potentially miles away). In my experience it's about the same..

Do check the app, Spare Parts (included in CyanogenMod) > Battery history. "Running" tells you how much time your phone has spent running instead of sleeping. If running % is more than 20% or so then some app or something is running in the background and keeping your phone awake. Find out what it is and stop it. Also, look at "Partial wake usage," it might be able to show you if any app is keeping your phone awake more than it should.

That's all the information I have for now. For more technical details/suggestions regarding JIT and other CM performance settings, you will find more technically proficient users on the IRC channel:

Has anyone been able to use the swipe gesture on launcher pro? I really want to set it to go to the dialer, but it wouldn't do anything. After trying a different app, it would cause com.android to force close and the radio would cycle on and off.

Now nothing works with it, and it will cause the force close even when it is set to "do nothing."

Oh sorry to hear that. I did try my 4g once before on the cm7 stable and it worked good for me. But honestly sprint does need to improve their service in a lot of areas. Just sayin

I don't have 4g anywhere I'm at except for the main freeway. It is totally ridiculous (not to mention straight up bull****) that I have to pay for something I haven't even been able to connect to for more than 5 minutes.

First Time User of CM7

I bought my gf the HTC Evo Shift and she really liked it. She had some issues with stock Sense, so I loaded up CM7. She REALLY likes it. However, she's having an issue with the Facebook app, and I'm not sure what to do. It was working fine under the Sense ROM. When she opens the FB app, it will load up. She hits the BACK button, and it takes her to the FB "menu". She hits the PROFILE icon, and the app crashes:

com.facebook.katana (i can't remember the exact phrase) has crashed.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the FB app. I have used Clockwork Mod to wipe cache, but that still hasn't fixed it. What else can I try? Thanks for the help!

Jim
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNLiberal:
I have found other people having this issue.

forum DOT cyanogenmod DOT com/topic/21314-facebook-crashes-on-cm7-stable-build/

Seems to be an issue with the FB app itself. I've already found the older 1.5.2 apk, and will try installing it. Hope this helps someone else.

Yesterday I had to ruu back to stock to get a speaker replaced. When I re-rooted and restored cm7 my wifi reception sucks. Is there a way to boost reception, or should I just reflash cm7 and restore with titanium backup?

I have the same problem, i'm trying to figure it out too.

Edit: I startin to think that my wifi might of gotten broke somehow when I had my external speaker replaced. I didn't have a problem until then. And I can't say for sure whether it was the ruu or restore that did it cause I didn't have a chance to connect to wifi between getting my phone back and re-rooting.

Also Wireless tether app works like a charm...

Why does the evo shift get official cm7 and the epic gets left to deva ambitious enough to port it over :(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] falz:
From what I can tell, since HTC releases its source it's much easier to port to HTC devices, and is why most supported devices are HTC. It will also completely depends on someone willing to spend the time on it. If toastcfh hadn't ported it we'd currently be without it.

Bug report: The CRT electron screen fade in/out do NOT seem to work still.

Maybe bug: ADW has randomly restarted 4 times on me now. Didn't on the nightlies. I don't recall changing any widgets, etc, but it definitely could be NOT related to the rom, hence the "maybe".

About the WIFI, has been working very well for me, the signal "indicator" seems to be a bit off. Speed tests show normal and within 15ft of the router and every other device has max signal indicator except for the phone, hence why I think it's just the way it's reporting.
